    I've always bought mine at Amazon.

    If that is too much, they have smaller sizes available.

    Go to the back of the BB building and ask the car stereo installation people if they have some scraps you could have or buy.

    If you mean fitting the rings. They have a flat spot that goes next to the support. You may need a wood chisel to remove glue and maybe a little of the support.

    2.3TL's not the same as yours but some of the supports were close to the tweeter rings and needed some tweaking.

    If you look close at the photo (zoom in) the corners next to the tweeter rings have been removed. I used a wood chisel.

    Don't use a wood chisel on the support only the excess glue, instead cut the ring itself if necessary.

    Yes, probably the best way to provide clearance. :)

    That's not the Xtreme version. I wouldn't use the original in my gear.
