[QUOTE="1zenlunatic, post: 249798, member: 547539"] You can make it work. Make those mounting rings and whatever else you need. It might take awhile but you'll get it done. I just finished installing crystal csc60 6.5" mids in the doors of my 90 civic. The stock mounting depth is only around 1 5/8". The crystals require 2 1/2". Not only that but they would not fit under the door skin even with a mounting plate and a mounting ring. I had to make 2 mounting plates, glue them together and screw them into the door. Then put the skin back on minus the kickpanel. Then put a ring on mounted off-axis over the door skin with 3 shims in between all at different angles/heights to support the off axis ring. So all together, 4 mounting plates, 2 mounting rings, 6 shims, 24 screws, and many hours later the crystal mids are finally sitting in the doors! Tomorrow i have to wire them.. I wanted to do the fabrication stuff first because i knew it was gonna be harder. Next time i'll save an extra $200 and buy some kodas! The fun never ends. Enjoy. [/QUOTE]
