is depth your problem?

 

no, its the plastic part around the speaker containment... its too close. the outter side of my speaker are thicker then my stock, and I have to pull up the side panel of the back, and literally, beat the speaker down and in to get it to go in... I was wondering if there was an easier way...

 

This picture, the yellow is the "containment" area of where the basket sits... the green circle is a screw I can take out to wiggle and move the plastic out a LITTLE, which really doesnt help much. The thing is... is the containment/plastic that you see, sits real close to the frame of the car, where I screw in the speakers, and the outter layer of my new speakers are thicker then the stock ones, which are about 1/4 an inch, compared to about a half [the new ones] I just want an easier way to install these babies...


Here is another pic...

[PS, the other stuff was for my other post in which I had troubles so pay no attention to them... haha]
