Excellent sounding though i would steer clear next time. 5x7 splits

I had the same issue at first with type R splits, was annoying so I ended up cutting some of the support ribs beind the speaker grill and trimming a bit off at the edge all behind the actual grill so you cant see it from the outside. So they no longer touch anything now.

Didn't even think about the depth at first thought they would just drop in, if I knew it was going to be so much work I would have just bought the 6.5" type R's. But now its all sorted i'm happy anyway.
