I tried to come up with a bunch of ideas for the speakers..... there isnt much room towards the outside....plus I may run a cage and need some space for the downbars..... turning them at an angle wouldnt change anything since its the magnet that is the issue. I though about going smaller, but couldnt find a decent 3 way speaker that would work. Thought about rasing them up.....I though of a 100x different option but finally just went with this.....
I also did a rough trim on the original rear panel to fit the tubs. I'm planning on using them as a good starting place for the final ones. I think I should be able to use them as the base and add some fiberglass etc etc and then get them covered. If nothing else I use them as a template.
