Rear speaker help!!!!!
How did you guys take out your factory speakers and put the new ones in?
Because i just bout 6X9'* and the mounts to my old speakers don't fit my new speakers.So did you guys buy new mounts or just put them in the way the new speakers are?
I have a 1993 Bonneville.
Any help would be greatly appreciated...

go to the truck and open it. Then look for your 6X9'* and push up on it hard enough to unhook them form the clamps. I will tell you the rest later because I dont remember what wrench to use to unscrew the speaker upholster.

if they really will not fit then you can make them fit with some 1/4" wood of some sort. just trace the old speaker top onto the wood and then the new one. you should end up with a thin piece of wood that will screww into the stock location and then you mount the new speaker to the wood. i have never had to do this with a 6x9 though are you sure that is what you got?

suppastar56,
I had the same problem when I installed my Pioneer TS-A6995'* last year. I'm assuming that you mean that the black plastic bracket that holds the stock speaker in place doesn't fit your new speakers?
In my case, the Pioneers were a little too big, so all I did was take a utility knife and start carving away the opening of the bracket until it did fit. The plastic is fairly soft, so you shouldn't have a problem if you have a sturdy enough knife, I don't recommend an exacto knife since they're kinda flimsy and you'll dull the blade very fast. If you can get a proper utility knife, trimming away the excess plastic should be no problem.
Good luck!

so they are to big not to small. yes then trim away but i would use a dremel tool to do it so you have a better chance of walking away with 10 fingers and so it looks better.
