well i bought 2 pair of Rockford Fosgate Punch 6.5" (FRC4306) speakers for my doors and rear deck.
BUT they are too big, i cut the back out of the speaker cup but they just will not sit in all the way and bolt up so do i
A) return them and buy a speaker that crutchfield says will fit (the model below mine 2 way instead of 3 way)

B) Make a ring so they will fit.. if so how do i go about doing this do i just buy mdf and cut one out or can i buy rings?

also the rear deck have a ring that is angled so it faces more towards the front of the car.

making a ring is easy
just get the 1/2 MDF and cut it out

personaly I would have gotten 2 ways and how much were the rockfords?
there should be better sounding speakers for the price you paid

i paid $99.00 for each pair the 2 ways are actualy the same price, not sure why.. if i were to get a different speaker for around the same price what would you recommend?

for 100
infinity referances or polks would be my first choice
the polks will give a little more bass than the infinitys

but the
alpines and JBL's are good too

i dont know about the polks, i am actualy replacing a set with these because the polks took a crap

Go to a shop and listen to everything you can afford, then decide what you like the best. A $100 speaker ain't gonna be the end-all of car audio, but you'll certainly be able to find something you like. You've GOT to audition them yourself, forget what everybody else thinks.

With that said, I like JL speakers (can't vouch for their cheaper line), and lots of people here like CDTs (pretty cheap at thezeb.com from what I hear).
