getting the speakers for the front door of the vanagon has 2 problems if
the grille is too tall
- the window crank will hit it... but they sell a riser/adapter for the
window crank to clear it
- the grill will hit or rub against the side of the dashboard..

after looking and trying a while I found these one that are quite good...

in the past I just skip the grilles altogether and leave it bare...
