Quoted from DugFreez:

My Spike 2 light kits are 100% compatible with aftermarket speakers. The GotG picture on my profile (and homepage) is of a game with FF aftermarket speakers installed. No reason to not use or to cut the speaker foam (I've never even tried cutting the foam).
What you will need to do is make sure the aftermarket speakers do NOT have a spacer rings attached on the front of them. They can be ordered from Flipper Fidelity without those spacer rings attached to the front of them or the spacer rings can be removed:

After that is done, One of two things will also need to be done if the speaker you are using has tweeters that extend out past the speakers mounting area: The bars will have to be cut out of the holes in the factory speaker plates OR you will have to purchase a set of SPIKE 2 replacement speaker plates from me. These replacement speaker plates can only be used with my SPIKE 2 Speaker Light Kits and they completely replace the factory speaker plates. They not only have the bars removed so the speaker holes are open for the extended tweeters. They also center the speaker holes in the speaker panel's honeycomb grill area as well as adding two extra mounting points for each speaker (giving each speaker 4 mounting studs instead of the 2 from the standard factory speaker plates).

Of course if the aftermarket speakers you are using don't have the spacer rings on them and they do not have tweeters that extend past their mounting points....nothing special will have to be done at all. They will mount with the SPIKE 2 Speaker Light Kits just as the factor speakers do.
If you are interested in the Replacement SPIKE 2 Speaker Plates, they are $17.50 a pair. I do not have them listed on my website yet, but PM or e-mail me at [email protected] and let me know, as I do have them available now.
I hope this helps,
