Question on db650 install - Honda Accord

Forgive me for my ignorance. But I have a quick question. I've installed a pair of the db650 speakers in the back deck of my 94 accord. When re-installing the factory speaker grills, the grill rests on the top of the tweeter. Should I be concerned about this?

A possible fix to this would be to file/sand/cut down the underside of the framework on the grill. It's just a raised plastic grid. It would be easy enough, but if un-necessary I'd rather not take the time.

Thanks,

Arlen

    if its not letting it clip in place, you can just take some a cutting tool and cut out the individual grid where the tweeter is. If it just lifts the grill but doesnt affect anything, you can just leave it the way it is.

    No, everything installs but the factory grill is definately pressed up against the tweeter on the new speaker. I was just wondering if this was bad for the speaker.

    The tweeter has a grill over it so it is protected from the OEM grill. That is as long as the pressure isnt that much.

    I don't think the pressure is that much but I'm going to pull the OEM grill off and see what it would take to remove the pressure off the speaker. Maybe just shim up the grill a little or shave down the underside of it, or both.

    Thanks.

    Had to do this myself, a dremel with a grinding stone will take a little off the back side of the grill. If you don't do this you could have a source of vibration. And for all of you that are about to go there, I didn't mean it that way. Just don't cut all the way through. It should look just the same on the outside.
