So, I cut the speakers

The old speaker becomes the new speaker spacer. Don't have to drill out the rivets. The new speaker connects to the old speaker terminals, so all the wiring is intact. Only need a small hole in the speaker spacer to run your wires through, foam sealing tape and screw in the speaker.
Genius! I wish I had seen this before I replaced the speakers in my VW.
