Help on How to make speaker mount
#2
The factory mount can't be used if you have normal sized magnet. If you don't want to make your own trim ring like this from 3/4" mdf. You could look for a set of components with neodymium magnets. I think diamond audio or image dynamics makes some.

i think the best thing to do is to rivet it in... i am using sheet metal screw right now that came into the spacers that i bought form circuit city (plastics ones) and now i can hear them rattling and vibrating after a week of installation. thats why i wanted to do a spacer from mdf but i dont know what size of rivet i should use to put in... does anyone have an idea on this?

it's simple just drill out the rivets and cut out the old speakers,you can use a hacksaw blade it's just hard plastic,place your new speakers in the mount and screw them on,i was a lil lazy so pull back the plastic on the door and screw the mounts with some nuts and bolts can't remember the size doh,anyway my infinity looks and sounds great good luck...........

just remember, do the job right the first time, don't half-acre the work. it doesn't matter if youre a professional installer. research the job first, check out some install sites and do a little extra work the first time so you dont have to do it the second time. Remember, the lazy man works twice as hard!

They're called "binding barrels and shoulder screws" Availaible at any Home Depot/Lowe's, etc. Use them in the original holes to attach your new baffles. 10/24 or 10/32 will fit through the OEM rivet holes, 1/4x20 will require them to be drilled out slightly.
They can easily be removed, and require no special tools to install. Many are simply slotted heads, and can be annoying to work with. Look for hex headed models, which may costs a few cents more, but will save a world of hassle.

nuts and bolts work great for me no rattles and less headache,if want use the rivet method that's your choice i just think the nuts and bolts method was just a easier and simple way to do it,if my speakers had rattles i won't suggest it in the first place....
