Shop says these speakers wont fit in the rear deck? Help

So I have done plenty of research and almost everything I have read says the rear deck speakers in my 04 TL are 6.5s. So I bought some nice PHD Audiophile Systems FB.1 6.5 Coaxials and brought them to my local shop to be installed. A little while late I get a call telling me they can't get them to fit, that the basket is too big or some shit. Does anybody have any insight into this, or any advice on how I could get them to fit if these guys aren't BS'ing me?


Here is a link to the speakers, only these are the component because for some reason the coaxials are not on their site:

It's hard to say without seeing the basket for these speakers. The TL ones look like this:

If it doesn't fit, I'd just do what's necessary to make it fit.

right, the diameter of 6.5" could fit the opening, but maybe the depth/length isnt right.

either make it fit, like polobunneh suggested by cutting or adding spacers....

or return the speakers to find something that fits.


you only have two options here.
