    Quoted from livetowin:

    Bought a Pinsound cabinet speaker and the posts in the cabinet aren’t long enough to fasten the spacer down. Anyone have this issue?

    I tapped the original bolts out then drilled approx 1/4" up from the bottom of cabinet and re installed the original bolts into the counter sunk hole. Worked great, no need to buy new bolts. Use a drill bit that is the same diameter or slightly larger than the head of the original bolts. Quick and easy.

    Quoted from GCS2000:

    I have a new to me GZ Premium and would like to change out the speakers (doubt I will go amp tbh) and would like to move from the 4" stock to one of the recommended 5.25" sets. I know speakerlightkits.com has the adapters to do this but they are $50 is there a cheaper option out there?
    Also I will be using the myth flaming speaker lights with city scape in my game and I understand clearance can be an issue on aftermarket speakers. Can anyone share which ones are good choice when using this light kit?
    TIA

    No adapter needed. I cut the studs off the original speaker plates and drilled 4 holes to mount new 5.25 kickers. I fastened the kickers with black pan head machine screws and nylon nuts. Works great with Flamin flames light kit, no clearance problems. Only cost $2 for hardware and was easy to do. Use the speakers as a template for hole locations.
