try to protect the speakers voice coil, so no plastic junk lands in side. i worked with a plastic bag, and worked small areas at a time..... next
i used cloth tape inside the pod where the speaker sits. i did a few layers not a lot, also before you use the tape drill your screw holes... the tape gave the speaker and the pod a more tighter grip when screwed...
nextel - thanks for the info. After looking at the setup I was wondering if I should go up to a 6.5". Unfortunately I have had these speakers sitting in the basement for awhile waiting to have time to install them and I think it is past the return period.
