Quick Opinions Needed!!

[cherrington17]

I got my 6.5s replaced, and the new ones have a lightly larger basket, magnet, and depth.

So I have to grind the hole bigger in the 4x6 spot to fit them. (no biggie) but they mount, with the adapter plate) and are still like an 0.5" off the plate, while touching the window frame behind the speaker.

My question, do i go ahead and mount them like that... or should I cut out the plastic old speaker "grille" and flush mount them in the door.

This is what they look like...


and I have the option of these grilles... (i'm leaning toward the spider, but the mesh would look cleaner and provide better protection)


I kinda want to mount then infront of the door, since the last ones were apparently mounted incorrectly, and the woofer rubber tore because of that. mounting upfront would prevent that completely... but it might look like ass.. hence my asking.
