Ran dom, do you think there is a difference between your lightning style deck/ gunwal vs my fever? I didn't measure for sure, but from where the gunwal fiberglass is to the edge of the upholstry is only a couple inches. Do you think those rings you suggested will make up the difference of the JL 6.5's so I don't have to do any fiberglass cutting? In theory if I can make the speakers look good without cutting anything I'd rather do that. Also it was mentioned before that without some free air around the speaker that is will be muffled, will this affect the sound?

It will affect how low the speaker will play. Low frequency moves air,,,,, on both sides of the cone.
If the air doesn't have anywhere to go on the back side,,,, the cone doesn't move. I did a test once in a truck ford supplied putting different size speakers in the "C" pillars. A 4" went as low as any 5x7 or 6x9, and the 6x9 I used in the right location would easily go down to 60hz.
Mid range was much better with the 4" of course so it was a waste to go any bigger.

I think I'm going to cut the fiberglass out for the better sound quality. I should have everything on Monday so I'll begin the installation then, I'll take some pictures as I go and post back.

Made a spacer ring from acrylic to cover the black stain rings. Depth was ok, so the speakers are recessed into the rings 1/4" or thereabouts so they didn't stick out. The black color was achieved by putting black vinyl on the back side. Gave it a clear black glass look. Could use any color if you want
