2nd Gen Neon Speaker Replacement
 

Hi Neoners, :-)

I've purchased a full Pioneer system for a reasonable price online from some advice of a friend.


I went to work on the front speakers first. Panel came off easy enough but it appears that the pioneer 6.5 / 6 3/4 size speakers don't lay into the stock plastic housing. I can take a photo when I get home here (hard at work or hardly working ;-) but as of right now there is no way I can house the speakers without some sort of modification.

Here are the speakers purchased:



From what I read in my Haynes manual and online this car is supposed to be equipped with 6.5's however I read online and see photos of 6 3/4 going right in there perfectly.... Any thoughts?

The holes for the screws barely inside the the ring of the plastic housing. There is little clearance for a screw here so I was thinking of a metal bracket of some kind?

~Thanks

No insight into this issue? Pictures to come.

Bump.

I'm not 100% sure, but I recall there being some sort of spacer/adapter on the factory 6.5" speakers making it mount to the 6.75" space there, which is why (I guess) 6.75" speakers would mount right up. It's like a little plastic ring or something like that?
