Door-speaker mounting

[Amos]

Hey, I tried the search but nothing's come up (probably using incorrect key words...)

But I'm looking to get some 5 1/2" speakers into the doors... the only issues I'm running into are I can't find plastic plugs that fit into the little squares to drive screws into to secure the speakers...

Anyone willing to shed some insight on this?

Thanks!

Self taping screws work or short bolts with washers and bolt it right to the door pannel did it in both my festys and worked great cuz I was never able to find the oem pplastic thangs

I used 6.5" speakers and screwed them into the metal.

Wal mart sells a kicker. It's a 5 3/4 sounds pretty good and looks decent and fits behind the window crank. ImageUploadedByTapatalk1375151437.177624.jpg predrilled holes in the metal and used supplied clips and screws. ImageUploadedByTapatalk1375151541.365624.jpg

So no one has used the stock speaker mounting holes? lol

I'm pretty sure the bolt pattern is pretty proprietary to a very specific speaker. Probably a kia part. I'd say maybe fourgreen would have some? But they are gonna be a stock kia speaker from the 80s...if they exist.

For the plastic pieces you could try an auto parts store. Some have miscellaneous things like that under the Help! brand or something similar. Think license plate holders.

For mine, I used the included clips and attached them to the door card making door panel removal easier.

so what is the exact size to fit into the door location? ive seen three different sizes mentioned.

If you want to use the stock holes. You should make somee mdf rings.
Drill holes to mount it to the stock screw hole locations.
Then screw the new speaker onto the mdf ring wherever the holes line up.
