I've read here before that some make their own rings out of 1/2" or 5/8" mdf board and their speakers fit just fine, different brands though. Has anyone had problems with this? Looking through/at the grill with the stock speakers it looks llike there is plenty of room. Any advice?

I just installed the front pair using the thin rings that Polk Audio provides in the box just like sportin83 said and they fit perfectly. The ring is only maybe 1/4" thick and there is plenty of room for the magnet to clear the window and the tweeter is at least 1 1/2" from the door panel when put back in place. The tip about using the rag to get the retainer ring off of the window crank really works, also a tip I'd like to pass along is NOT to drill out the rivets that hold the factory speakers but use a pair of wire cutting pliers to get behind the rivet head and cut them just like cutting wire. It cuts the rivet head right off, and the rivet slides right out. Way faster and easier than drilling. I have no idea why Crutchfield says these and other 6 1/2" speakers won't fit, I put this off for so long, for nothing. The Polks sound way better than the stock ones, duh. I'll install the rears when I get a chance. Just to clairify something above, I bought the db651 models not the db651s which are shallow models.
