Default Speakers too FAT... Help...?

I pulled out my old kappas from the G1 integra and wanted to install them on the G3 integra. but for the door pannels there too fat doesn't fit the plastic harness. Maybe I did something wrong. there both 6 1/2 inches. Any suggestions? other than buy new speakers?

any info would help,
thanks Mike

You're gonna need to do some cutting to make the magnet fit...

If I remember correctly, the g3 tegs have a plastic baffle that the stock speaker kinda sits in. try hacking that up to see if the kappa will fit. If not, the you'll have to take out the plastic baffle and get a foam one (i.e. from crutchfield) to keep the speaker protected from rain seeping in. That's what I did in my old 94 LS when I installed my 6.5" MB Quart mids.

A little custom installation and suttle modification can go a long way.

Do a search on the net. I believe the baffles are made by XTC if memory serves me correct.
