I installed some new 6.5's in the door and the window won't roll down all the way . And in the process of that something metal hit the wires and my head unit started smoking . Does anyone have any suggestions on how to mount the speakers so this wont happen again.

 

make MDF mounting plates for them

 

Geez-- That BITES!!

You should measure the factory pod and test fit the mid to the back of the door panel to determine how far forward and at what specific angle you can mount your 6.5's --

Some mdf plates with some angled rings should be able to offset them far enough out to clear the window AND aim the mids a little too--

 

I'll try that this weekend,and let you know how it went ,thanx

 

sorry bout the head unit man-- does it still work??

 

nope,fried it real bad,and it was a nice head unit
