Any premade spacers/adaptors to install aftermarket speakers
I'm picking up my XBin a couple weeks and I already know that I want to install a decent system and I want to use a set of 6.5 MB Quart components I have sitting around. I know the stock speakers are riveted and taking them out isn't a big deal but I don't have acces to power tools and living in an apartment makes it tough to really fabricate anything. Is it possible that there are some premade adapters or spacers to ensure a solid install? I suppose I could get my local sound shop to do it for me but they're known to be rather expensive.

Metra sells .5" and 1" speaker spaces, I used the 1" spacers on my XB. Any Best Buy will stock them. Alot of cars need them when installing aftermarket speakers, because the magnets and baskets are alot bigger than oem speakers. They retail from $10-$15.
