Well! Tried to install my Pioneer TS-D1720C in the front and they would not fit unless I do some trimming on the plastic, the tweeter is to big for the hole and the woofer won't sit properly unless I trim some of the plastic so now they'll be use for the rear and I'll just have to order some different ones for the front...sucks! but that's life.

Just push, the woofers/adapters will fit.

A standard razor/box cutter can trim the minimal amount needed to fit the tweeters.

You did leave the stock screw spacers in, right? Some pics for encouragement:

Sure did, did you have to trim the hole to fit the tweeters? Are your woofers touching the plate or did you add some spacers? Nice Pictures. Wish mine would look like this.

Had to trim the holes for the tweets with a razor blade using the included template, the plastic cuts surprisingly easily. I reused the stock spacers for the adapters, but nothing between the speaker and adapter. You do have to push the speaker in pretty good to get it to fit, the sides of the door panel will just bend out a little, if you look hard, you can see it in the pic at the bottom of the speaker.

Well ended up putting them in the rear with the tweeter installed on the upper plastic of the rear door and boy do they sound great! Now just waiting for my front ones to come in. I really like the sound now. Especially with my AVH-P4300DVD.
