Default alpine type s 6.5

hey i bought some alpine type s 6.5 for my 96 2 door integra and when i try to installed them they wouldn't fit into that black holder thing on the side of the door where they go onto? do i need a bigger one? cause i cant screw them on, i think the magnet is too big or something, need some help. the car had some aftermarket ones already and when i compared them they were the same siz but different magnet size and mounting location

If they are the SPS600 2way coax they have a 2-1/4" mounting depth, [stock is 2"].

You can either install a depth reducer, [1/4" spacer] cut a hole for the speaker magnet in the back of the stock plastic speaker housing, or best bet is to replace the stock plastic speaker housings with custom MDF speaker mounting plates. 94

Best Buy will either use a spacer or cut the back out of the stock plastic housings. 94
