Bought some new Polk DB series 6.5s, but the holes aren't aligned with each other

Anyone know why that is?

That doesnt look like the stock coupe panel, but by the looks of the wing and rear wiper nub. im guessing its a S14. I dont have a S14 so i donno what else to tell you except use a drill and drill hella holes.

the speakers covers varied by year, i don't know about the speakers though. you might have a panel from a different year or something. is everything stock back there?

That's the OE rear deck from a non speaker equipped base model, it comes without any holes. The fool who owned the car before you cut the deck in the wrong place, leaving you with an offset hole. Buy a new cover with the speaker cutouts already made, or hope you can find a large grille to cover all that.

Oh. makes perfect sense. I didn't know some 240s came without rear speakers, that's nuts.

Any idea if the rear deck can still be bought from the dealer/price?

Thanks.
