Well the easiest way is to take advantage of the fact that a speaker is shaped like a cone, and use a 6.5" MDF spacer that makes it so that the part of the speaker that is in the door is less than 5.25"...... kinda hard to explain //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif
