Drop Your 6.5" Speakers Into the BMW E46 Front Doors and Rear Shelf, OEM Style Fit

Product Overview

The Stinger SSPBM01 is a pair of OEM-style speaker spacers designed for installing 6.5" aftermarket speakers into the BMW 3 Series E46 (1997–2005), including the M3 variant. Constructed from ABS plastic, these spacers bridge the gap between the aftermarket speaker's mounting flange and the factory door or shelf mounting points, providing a clean, secure fit without cutting or modifying the factory panels.

The SSPBM01 can be used in both the front doors and the rear shelf of the vehicle, offering flexibility for front-stage, rear-fill, or full 6.5" speaker replacement across the E46 cabin.
