Any trouble incorporating the plastic weathershields with new 6in door speakers?

I've got a pair of 16cm 2-way clarions lying around that didn't seem to fit when I sized them up earlier this year. Do the mounting holes mate up on the 6 inch units you guys have used?

I just got some plastic sheeting I had lying around. I put it behind the speaker and sort of wrapped it and used the speaker to hold the plastic there between the speaker and door.

I've got Rockford fosgate type RF's in my ride, it did have JL's (that the previous owner had installed) they fit straight into existing mounts. I had a mate fiberglass me up some pods for the doors. Just built to fit over existing mount spots in doors, and can always be removed and put back to original if need be. Mind you, my boot's not empty either ;)

There's still a gap at the bottom. Not ideal but I don't know how else to keep it dry.
