I bought a set of Pioneers from Best Buy.

 

ohh. best buy sometimes doesnt know what they talking about. they couldnt get al of my head unit in so I had to install it myself [:@]

anyway, this set fit in, or is this the 6.75 you looking at?

 

They look nice....it's still weird about the size.

 

Hey Guys, I like everybody else bought 6.5" speakers. But they don't fit. Like Jewelz said before. I bought 2 pairs of Alpine Type S speakers. But they were too small like I said. So I had the smart idea of using the speaker mounts from the stock speakers. And it worked great. What I did was:

1. First remove the factory speaker.
2. Dremel the cone off. Yes, Cut the CONE and Magnet OFF.
3. Your left with an O shaped mount with the factory holes.
4. Lay the new smaller 6.5" speaker face down on this newly made O mount.
5. Now the tricky part. Carefully drill four new Pilot holes for the new speaker. Wilth 1/16" drill bit.
6. Screw down the speaker to the O mount and Install the Door.
There you have it...

The first speaker was the hardest because I didn't know what to expect. It roughly took an hour to finish. But the other three, I did in half that time. The Plastic is fairly robust, but I would still recommend taking your time not to crack the plastic. But if you do, don't worry just use some epoxy glue.

I know, I know post some pictures.... I will very shortly.

 

actually, I was thinking of this solution, but nobody spoke further of a problem.

very good trek!

 

That sounds perfect...please get some pics when you can!

 

I know this is 13 years later but is this the same size for the 2010 outtie with the rockford fosgate speakers?

 

I have a 2006 outlander. I ordered some JVC CSJ620 which claim to be 6.5". ( They were cheap) I discovered they were too small for the hole and had to pick up some adapters so they would fit. Seems there is a difference in how manufacturers are defining size.
