I have a 03 Eclipse RS, the front door speaker size according to crutchfield is 6 3/4, so I get a set of speakers (Pioneer TS-G1341R) that everywhere I read, are supposed to directly replace the factory speakers of a 03 eclipse without any adapters. Thats not the case, the speaker falls right into the hole where the factory speaker was installed. Any ideas what I could or what I'm doing wrong? I cant find any adapters either and everybody I ask seems to think I'm stupid when I tell them the speakers are too small, I should know I'm the one who took the door panel apart.

Is the factory speaker that you removed in any kind of plastic bracket that you can reuse? It has been a while since I have done one of those...

It does have some form of plastic around it, but it cant be removed and its the same size as the speaker.

I believe the stock door speakers in an Eclipse are actually 7" but yes you can make a 6.5 work if you reuse the plastic mounting ring on the OEM speaker, or make your own from MDF. Mounting depth is a common issue as well. ------------- Support the12volt.com
