Hello guys,
i bought and aftermarket 6X9" speakers and tried to install it. however, the factory rear speakers ain't 6X9" and i can't put the new speakers into the speakers brackets. do you guys have any ideas on how to overcome this? i searched for speakers adapter but no luck with it.

i have the same problem.. my rear speakers are rounds and everywhere i check they are supposed to be 6x9s... i just replaced the rounds with some Kenwood Excelon PBO Fiber cone rounds (I forget the size) Rounds are supposed to be better than 6x9s anyways...

Don't think you'll have any luck with adapters, I'd just try and return the ones you have and measure to get the right size for what's there.

Actually you could prolly go to a junk yard and pull the 6x9 brackets off a wrecked Eclipse. Prolly wouldn't cost you much of anything. I know my GSX has the 6x9 in it. Maybe it's only the ones with the Infinity system in it.

I had to have my back speaker area costum fabricated to fit 6x9s fit in the rear.

DAMN, that's gotta be it. I've seen tons of post about this and it's not based on model or year, that has to be what the differance is. Mine has 6x9's and it had the infinity system.

same problem with my old eclipse. i bought infiniti 6X9 which is what the manufacturer and everyone (well, circuit city) tell me it's suppost to be.... well, the infiniti's were too deep and they went right up against the rear wheel well. I never solved the problem b4 i sold the car... haha, i guess i'm just sharing stories.
