nice job on the plates, but when I removed my stock speakers, they were already destroyed. I just used a coping saw to cut everything away except where the plug was and slid in the new speakers soldering them to the existing connectors. having used the 4" polk speakers, I used my belt sander to grind off the mounting ears and they dropped right into place.

Thanks

My factory speakers were in perfect condition, so I figured I would keep them intact in case I ever wanted to go back to factory , or if someone needed a set I would sell them

Had they been trashed, I would have used them as the new speaker mount.

I had looked for some pre-made adapters, but the links I found were all dead. So what you can't buy, you have to make
