    Installed some new jl speakers today

    I will add pics tomorrow. I am not much for manual labor, but I decided to just swap the speakers myself. It went with the sport grills so I had to drill extra holes. Everything went really smooth except for a couple small issues. One screw hole stripped out a little but with 5 others tight on the 6.5 speaker I am not really worried. Otherwise the speaker under the helm doesn't sit completely flush although it is really tight. I just think it is because of the curvature of the fiberglass. Anyone have this issue at all?

    Structurally tight is good. But the speaker needs to be sealed against the mounting surface for acoustic reasons. If that gap is say 1/16" then silicon can fill the void. If much larger of a gap then a contoured 1/4" thick adapter plate could do the job. There are numerous materials soft enough for shaping yet durable enough to hold up.

      yeah there isn't hardly any gap there at all just enough to notice when you run your finger around the speaker. It just just the 6.5 speaker under the helm near the bottom of it. My guess would be that it was just like that from the factory...because with the new template I lined them up with the factory holes as 2 of them were reused.
