Just a warning...

I have an Accord w/standard 6x9 openings. I bought the Tang Band subs, went to put them in my car...

The **** things didn't fit!!!! They were too big. They sat about 1/2 inch out of the opening from what I remember.

I'm trying to figure out how to proceed for the least amount of $$$. There are 6x9 MDF rings for sale on Ebay, but I'm scared that I'll buy them and have the same problem as before. I do have a dremel so maybe I will just hack away at the stock openings.

Any suggestions???

Just make your own MDF ring.

I would have to buy a saw... which would cost more than buying rings off Ebay and dremeling out what I need with the Dremel I already have...

And I would only use the saw for this. Plus I live in an apt... the router deal makes no sense

 
or a jigsaw....did tang band send you a cutout template with the speakers? if they did use that to trace the ring out onto the mdf and cut out your rings. if not, you will have to work a little more, but making your own rings is easy

 
I'd be even more piss after a dozen of people told me exactly what I needed to do, and I decided to just stay with my Type R's because I have no balls.
