Door speaker install

Hi all, I have a RHD 1998 996 Cab. It had aftermarket speakers installed into the door attached via a piece of wood... This prevented the door card from sitting properly. I bought OEM Porsche speaker enclosures (Part # 996 645 551 01 for the left one). However, it appears to be too big to fit into the door. Am I missing something here? Were there multiple speaker enclosure setups? Cheers.

Sorry about breaking the bump rule. Here are some photos. The HAES speaker enclosure looks too big and too wide to fit.

The OEM speaker enclosures go *inside* the door, not mount on top of the weather seal. The part where you see the bar code "security seal" mounts behind the outer door shell. (notice with the OEM green line is coming out) You'll need to carefully cut the opening and noodle the enclosure into the door hole. The door should have the proper door fasteners to secure the enclosure to the door. Good luck!

Great! Just remember, to take your time and be patient. The speaker enclosure is a little frustrating to get inside the door, but it will fit. Also, to avoid scratching or damaging the window, alway have it in *UP* position.
