hey guys i dont know if this has been posted before but if i could grab some help with this it would be great!

Im replacing my stock front door speakers with 6" mtx speakers in my '98 TF!....

HOWEVER!!!.....this is where i need the help!

when i unscrewed the stock speaker and placed my speakers in the speaker hole the screw holes dont match up! icant seem to screw in my replacement speakers..

IS THERE A WAY I CAN REPLACE MY STOCK SPEAKERS SO THAT MY 6" AFTERMARKET SPEAKERS CAN REPLACE THEM????????

CAN I USE A 6" SPEAKER IN MY DOORS??????

you will find that any aftermarket speaker will not line up with the holes from the stock speakers
all you need is a 3mm drill bit and drill new holes into the plastic

how do i do that... sorry for my illiteracy but im really lost!

when i sit the speaker in the hole there barely is any plastic behind the screw holes of my new speakers.. please explain to me!!!!

thanks!

There should be heaps of space for you to screw into the plastic, don't even need a drill, just get some self tapping screws (pointy ends) and screw them into the plastic where you need to mount the speaker.

my pioneers fitted in ok.
Your not allowed to drill holes, thats the rules mmmmkay.:D

Nah don't worry about trying to use the existing holes, but there should be plenty of room to make new ones...

I went throught the same dilemma too.

I utilised the existing plastic speaker pods, cut out some 6mm MDF templates to fit the plastic speaker pod to mount the speaker.

Tooka few hours, but was well worth it IMO.

Hope this helps.

just finished installing my new speakers. i just made an adapter out of mdf fro the speakers. i screwed my speakers to that and then i was able to screw the adapter holding the sapeker into the existing holes that were already in the plastic.... pretty proud of wat i did i must say. took a while but well worth it.... no just to complete my sound system, i need to amp up my 4 speakers...

that means i have:

Pioneer head unit
2 x 12" MTX Thunder 200Wrms subs
2 x 6" MTX Thunder 70Wrms
2 x 6"x9" MTX Thunder 75Wrms
JBL GTO 601.1 424Wrms @ 4ohm Mono Bloc amplifier
MTX Thunder Elite 1004 125Wrmsx4 4/3/2 channel amplifier

THATS TO ALL YOUR HELP GUYS MUCH APPRECIATED!!!!
