What is the width of the magnet+terminal on the MLI-65??

[XaznKewLguyX 0]

I only have a 4" hole in my door and i need to find a set of mids that will clear.

Does anyone know how big the diameter of the magnet+ terminal is? My rainbow mid was exactly 4" and it barely cleared and my AA poly mids didnt clear at all.

Heard good things about them and want to give them a try.

The MLI-65 has a mounting diameter of 6", so it won't work for you.

And everything you heard about them is true...

Mark is right. the mounting diameter is rather large because of the terminals.

but they're nice speakers. especially for the money

so you're talking about magnet diameter rather than actual cutout diameter?

Why not take a hole saw to it? Make it fit

Ok, I see what you're doing now. You are looking at 5" between the edge of the magnet to the edge of the terminal strip on the opposite side.

gotcha im gonna work on the doors tomorrow see if i can cut/or bend some metal to get it to fit!

thanks for the help!

Actually, I lied. The measurement I gave you is from the basket step to the terminal. Please see shot. You will notice the tapered spokes that extend to the edge. Depending on just how thick you have your spacer, you may have to increase the hole size to compensate. I figure if you go to 5 1/4" you should be ok if you use a 3/4" spacer.
