      Question Speaker spacers.

      I was wondering what type (brand) of speaker spacer you guys would say I should use for 6.5 inch speakers in the front. I have read through a bunch of old posts. If I have to resort to making my own I will, but I'm lazy. I just want to make sure I get the right one the first time and not spend more time screwing around. If you have a link to one that would be awesome.
      -Thanks.

      Note--Amazon says it won't fit, but people have said you will end up using only 3 of the four holes.

      Just an update for orhers in need of this info. The Metra 1" spacers work well. No clearance issues. I used Kenwood shallow mount 6.5s.

      Any universal 1 inch spacer will work. I had 5.25" speakers that weren't shallow mount and added a 5/8" MDF spacer to the 1" Metra I got and I was still able to get the door panel back on the door.




      I leased Pontiac Wave from September 2006 to August 2011.
