Could this be the perfect BOSE 6x9 replacement.

Bill the spacers are fine....the opening for them a little too small for alot of the aftermarket replacements...it takes a little dremling to get the opening a little bigger and the aftermarkets fit fine

I had to do that with my Boston'*. I just measured the long and short diameters of the speaker frame, and used the Ellipse tool in Adobe Illustrator to print out a template onto cardstock (select tool, click on page, enter long and short diameters, press enter), which I cut out and traced with a Sharpie on the top of the stock speaker brackets, then used a Dremel to trim away the excess plastic until the speaker fit properly. It took like ten minutes.

pretty good idea right there. I normally just go with the cut test cut test method.
