Thanks for re-posting the link for the easy install fix. I ended up using the trim rings which came with the speakers as a spacer (with some modifications). I removed the center screens which allowed the speaker to fit easily inside the resulting hole. The top edge of the trim ring was running into the body work, so I sliced off a sliver on the outside of the ring with my band saw. Speakers fit great! Hoping there are no clearance problems when I re-install the plastic trim pieces which cover the rear speaker locations, but I think I'll be alright.

That's a great idea! Please, let us know how is the final fit. Any pictures along they way or at the present stage you could share?

Anyone have any recommendations. Id like to keep the project under $600 if possible.
