Rear speaker problems - Neo Mags

jrod2290 · 05-25-2007, 08:58 PM

So I recently stopped out and got some 6.5 Infinity Kappa speakers for the front and rear. The front ones went in fine, but I am having some clearance issues in the back. The mags from the speakers are hitting the trunk bar. I checked the forums and they all talked about trimming the trunk bar or making a spacer for the speakers. Well, I didnt want to do that so I went to Best Buy and they suggested looking into some "neo-mag" speakers. The mags are smaller and most likely wouldnt get in the way. Only problem is, I can't seem to find any "neo-mag" speakers anywhere!!! Anyone seen them out there???

"neo-mags" are neodymium magnets, which is what the Kappa's use. I put these in the rear and used the old speaker as a spacer. I cut up the old speaker and put the kappa right in with clearance in an 07.
