Default door speaker problem

ok. so i ordered some 4 inch infinity kappas for the ride and they dont mount up. theyre the right size but wrong shape? the speaker doesnt seal in the box the way the factory speaker does? does that make sense? if not ill post pics in a little while.

post pics... 4" is factory I thought, but there are oddball 4"ers I believe. You may have to Dremel out the opening a tad.

most aftermarket speakers wont be exactly the same shape as the OEM ones, you probably will have to get creative in order to make it fit right.
