speaker mounting..?

speaker mounting..?
Hey guys... I have 4 entry-level blaupunkt speakers that I'd like to use to replace the stock speakers in my 95 GXE. My problem is that the mounting screw holes are not in the same places as the stock speakers'. Are there adaptor brackets for this purpose, and if so where can I get them? If not, what can I do to make the speakers screw into the door? The model number of the new speakers are P652C.
Thanks in advance....
Doug

Cutting a ring is a problem... There's no way I will be able to cut a circle for the speaker to fit into. The holes for the screws will just be way too close to the inside edge of the ring and will probably split if I try to screw it in. How come nobody else seems to have this problem?

stock are called Over sized speakers.... i sugest making a small adapter out of 1/4" plywood using a dremel or jigsaw. Shouldnt take that long to make. Or you can have them made up at a locla car stereo shop for around $20-40 depending.

easier solution:
use the plastic bracket that is already on your stock speakers. use a flathead to separate the plastic part from the metal part. this will be your adapter. now put your aftermarket speaker on the template, mark the holes and drill into the plastic piece. screw the speaker to the plastic piece and then screw the entire thing back into the stocl location.

Cut it out of MDF. It shouldn't split. And you'll end up with a better seal to the door than factory.

MDF? It doesn't really matter anyway.. I don't have access to the resources necessary for cutting circles. Oh well. I will try using the backs of the old speakers.

Trust me, I do not have the resources. If I had friends, I wouldn't be on this message board so much.

To which one are you referring? The one that adapts 6.5" speakers to an 'OEM 6.75" opening'?
