Need help installing comps

My stock speaker brackets are to small for my new rainbow comps. They are not deep enough but they will fit in there. I was thinking about just breaking the back off of them so I can just slide the speakers in there is that ok or do I need brackets with a back on them?

so you dont need a back? breaking off the back of these would be a lot easier andserve the same purpose

He is right though. In another thread, wasn't it you that thought one of your rainbows got a hole in its surround? You pretty much acted like it was done in shipping when it looked like nothing of the sort, and now you're asking about taking the back of a speaker off? I honestly dont understand what you're talking about at all. Also are you installing those speakers with the hole in it?

Outrageous

You obviously didnt read the last thread, I was just asking if I should keep them and patch them up or let the seller file a ups claim cause thats how they showed up....so either he lied or they were damaged in shipping. I just got finished taking them out of the box when I made that thread.

And you obviously did not read this thread either because I said speaker BRACKET that was built into the car.
