Default Need some setup help!

I installed a new stereo in my a4 and I got two things.
First, any ideas on adapters for the front speaker (5.25)
I know about mb quartz and cheesypoof's DIY, but I tried to follow him and its not working too well.
I wonder if there is anyone out there with any other ideas? Please help
Also I would like to know where people are putting their amps. I have three mtx amps (275x, 8302, and 4244) and would like to keep them off the back deck (all three won't fit there anyway) I have two tens and I think I could mount amps along passenger side in trunk. Maybe on sheet of wood 30x17 or around that size.
Help! please!
Any ideas/pics would help

I bolted the big block down using the bolt holes left from the the tie-down loops. the block holding the amps is 39x17 or something close to that.

In answer to your querstion about brackets for your front speaker, I think we can be of some help. If you will point your browser to the below link, It should help you with the speaker brackets. If you like you can email me your vehicle information, year,make,model and trim level. I will be glad to look that info up for you.

Default Thanks! If I only had a stealth box...(more)

But I got a bandpass and 2 tens. I could try what you did just going from front to back instead of across the middle (I would put it as close to passenger side as I could)
What do you think?

Default I agree. Dixon, why don't you implement your Crutchfield

image and URL info in your sig so we don't click on your posts thinking there's something significant in there?

No offense, but . . . .

Default a front to back layout would not be as easily fastened down...

underneath the two enclosed areas in my rack are bolts going through the rack into the holes for the old trunk cargo rings. its very securely held down...

Thanks for the feedback. The first pics, I could not find a pic that I could Hotlink from that I liked, so I used the ones our site. ( i know the guy in the pic hehe)

As far as the other style, since I'm representing a company and we are paying sponsors for this site, I have to give it a professional appearance. I hope you all will understand, just trying to help out.;-)

Default I guess I could use the same holes you did on front...

Then maybe make some tabs to connect to something in way back then bend 90 degrees to go under carpet. I guess there are bolts for lights or something.
What do you think?
Thanks for help!
