Get some spacers or somethin. What size are the Zapcos and what size doors you got? |

a 92 camry, the stock door speaker pod can be unbolted off, the speakers are in the garage to lazy to go down now spent all day taking apart my car and cutting new wiring and craps and yea found out the speakers dont fit right even though crutchfield says "the size fits" on the speakers they sell at their site. I think they're the i-602 model door speakers. also how would i safely bolt by sub box down in my trunk, or any kind of antitheft solution? |

Hmm if your fronts dont fit Id email Crutchfeild and tell them they dont fit. Maybe they will give you some spacers for free. As for your sub you can just bolt it down inside your box to the chassis of you car. |

lol cool for the shirts! But for your speakers,what size are they? do they not fit depth wise or size wise? if they are to deep you can buy spacers and if theyre to small or big you can buy adaptors for them. |

Adaptors are easy to get hold of, unscrew your old ones and replace them with new 'brackets' for your new speakers, thats how it works for us in Europe lol |

Hmm 6.161 speakers? Thats odd. You might have to make your own brackets for those. Im guessing your stock speaker holes are 6.5? You might wanna check out Crutchfeild.com or call them and ask for adaptors for your speakers/car. Hope everything works out for ya tho and let me know how those Zapcos sound,Ive heard mixed reveiws about them. Oh and are they coaxials or components? |
