Do 4x6 plate speakers like these Infinity 462.9cfp fit in the stock rear piller speaker locations. Anyone used any before?

The magnets looked to me like they might present clearence issues.

I dont have a direct answer being that I have not used them. I planned on doing so but upon research I discovered that they would not be a direct fit. Some mods would be required to fit. I am sure someone with more details will chime in.

I put the infinity reference 6412cfp set in my pillars...they barely fit...but they fit and sound good!

I believe depth is the main issue. Take careful measurements.

That's the exact model I used. First you have to very lightly grind away part of the retaining bracket to get a good fit and then use the foam strip included to make a sealed fit with the speaker bracket. It takes a little bit of maneuvering to get the magnet in, but it'll fit. Good luck.

EDIT: You'll also have to drop the crossover into the pillar. If it's hanging out (as pictured) the trim panel won't properly fit over it.

It looks like those Infinity plates were a lot easier to install than the Pioneer TSP462's I got for my 88. The magnet was too deep by about 1/4", then the crossover behind the tweeter had a lot of exposed capacitors, wiring and the like (they aren't separate like the infinity's). I ended up doing a bit of dremeling (don't have a grinder) and making my own mounts out of some scrap sheet lexan from my R/C car days. The panel barely fits over the assembly. I wouldn't recommend the Pioneer plates for a Fiero, but they definitely sound awesome once all the work was done. Anything probably sounds clearer than the stock speakers though.

If you have clearance issues, it's OK to use a BFH to move the metal a bit. It won't affect any alignments on the outside of the sail (body / trim attachmnet)

As long as the retaining plate is used there won't be any clearance issues.

I put in Infinity Reference Plates in my 87 GT about 4 years ago and it was a tight fit but they did fit! I know I had to remove the insulation in the pilar and do a little grinding on the plastic bracket but they fit.

My Boston Acoustics 4 x 6 plate speakers fit without any mods and have excellent sound.

Does anyone know what the mounting depth is for the Fiero? because this site im lookin at for speakers has the mounting depth listed at 1 7/8 inches seems really shallow for speakers unless i dont understand the description right...where it says mounting depth put mouse over it and it explains
