This is confusing because Crutchfield says the 5 1/4" Infinity speakers won't fit, but also says 6.5" speakers will fit on cars without the Infinity system. If anyone has put 5 1/4" speakers in 5 1/4" brackets with no probs, please let me know.

I spent about 30 minutes and hand fabbed some speaker rings out of 1/4" MDF for the speaker brackets. They work great, except the MDF flexes when I increase the power to the speakers and you can hear them rattling against the door. 1/2" MDF would be the smallest thickness I would go with. I will be redoing mine soon and will probably through some felt on there for good measure this time around. I can post pictures when I do it and make a how to if need be.
