Default problem with RF 6,5 in fairing lowers

I choose RF Speakers to mount in my new fairing lowers. I've got a problem, they do mount with CVO grills. I mad modification for diameter wich is good now but still have a problem with the tweeter...
Did someone mount it and how?

Modification for diameter





And still don't flush...

i went with the RF T1652, 1/2" spacer under speaker (witch i will have to trim the edges to fit inside CVO box) & im going to be able to use the RF grill that way. dont have any pic cause i just picked them up yesterday. my tweeters stick up about 3/4" above the edge of the speaker its self.

That's what i thought first, use RF grills, but i prefer CVO grills look which flush...

I was told the CVO grills block the tweeter sound because there's no holes in the center. The CVO lower speakers do not have tweeters. Might want to check on that.
