    Installing Rear speakers in 03 need adapter plates

    I have a pair of Polk DB651S speakers that I'd like to install
    in my 03 rear doors, These are the shallow speakers so they should fit
    however they are not 6x8 but 6.5 round.

    Does anyone make adapter plates that allow the install of these size speakers

    Yeah, I thought there was a member here that still made them, it's in one of the how to threads so I was asking here first, I looked at a few places... Thanks Plus if you look at the links in your link 90% of them are people asking on other forums where to get speaker adapters for 6.5 to 6x8

    6.5's might not work in the rear, our doors are super thin behind the speakers back there.

    I used some phoenix gold 5x7's in the rear and they fit perfect and sound great.

    Thanks yeah I know it's small but these are the shallow DB651S,
    lotta guys install them on Harley Roadglides, I did it as well, they
    fit inside the inner faring, ended up going with some Rockford Fosgates
    on the bike and had these in the cabinet,

    I can always put them up front with adapters, Scosche mades them
    but I seem to remember a member here makes them or said he did
    out of aluminum.

    I've always made my own adapter plates out of MDF. They give the best sound.

    Use old speaker + new speakers as templete, jig saw, drill pilot holes, wire up, bolt in...done.
