I got the kicker ss components for my xb. I already had 6.5 inch infinity kappa perfect components installed before, so I figured it would be just a quick swap out. I am currently using the scoshe sat6 speaker adapters for the infinity which worked fine, the problem is the kicker ss midranges dont fit in the opening and if i trim it down anymore there will be nothing to mount the speaker to. So what I did was create a bracket using two pieces of 3/4 mdf stacked on top of each other. The problem im having is the door panel is hitting the wood i think, and also the speaker is really close to the door panel grill and I think when it is playing music it may constantly hit the door panel.. Does anyone have any ideas.

 

instead of using (2) 3/4" pieces of mdf why not use (2) 1/2" pieces.

 

or only (1) 3/4" piece... don't know if that'll work in the xB but that's what my tC got

 

In the xB, on the inside of the doorpanel, there is a trim ring around the perimeter of the speaker grille. You may need to cut this off in order to get it to fit. I had to when I made my angled brackets.

 

so the ss will take some modding to get in there! i was gona get them plezzz let me no how u like them and some pics of the install plezzzzzzz

eDi 6000/6500s (2.8" depth) needs 2 x 3/4" spacers. Adjust +/- to your actual speaker depth.
Good luck!

 

it helps to use a heater then blade... but yeah, i used the elem. designs adapter w. kicker ss.... its a sweet setup! it will only fit if u cut the car or cut the plate... i chose to cut the car...
