they have taps on them...i cut off all the taps and drilled them into the medal...they mounted the speakers to it...you dont necessarily need them...it depends on how deep your replacement speakers are.

you cuold also have rings made of 3/4 inch mdf...which is what ill be doing when i get in a new set of speakers...just ordered them thursday.

i also ordered some boom mat speaker baffles...ive never used them before...but i am pretty sure the 6.5 inch speakers could use them...my present speakers...which are pretty good speakers...have terrible midbass response....if the speaker baffle helps i may resin them to firm them up before i install them.

so those are all things you may want to consider...

enyways...let me know how in detailed of a guide you need...i can help
thanks so much, i was wondering about the speaker brackets, i will probably pick them up sometime today or tomorrow, do you know if the front ones need brackets as well? I also was wondering if you knew how to remove the rear panels as well to get access to the speakers, I'm looking to do this little project probably on Friday since i have off and want to get all the things i need to do it. Also, while im asking do you know the best way to wire HIDs, or how to remove the front lamps, i heard it was a pain but i was hoping to find a write up on it too. Thanks again so much!
