they work they just don't line up perfectly, a lot of complaining on here has led to them just wanting to avoid it is my assumption. you could also drill new pilot holes for the speaker screws if you really wanted but it is not necessary. they are a nice adapter other than the holes not quite lining up perfect

You can get three screws through the speaker into the adapter with some doing. Four isn't an option. I am running with three and it seems to work just fine.

I just did that install a month ago and the adapters lined up perfectly for me. I guess I got lucky.

Smart move by them..... Most guys can make 'em work, but they cover their butt by saying they won't. Good marketing,.....that way they don't have to field the complaints from those that can't get them installed.

Quote from Dragonfly's updated eBay listing: "Will not work with Hawg Wired 6.5 Speakers and 50% of the Polk Speakers!!!!!"

"If you have Polk Audio DON'T Buy Our Rings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Their Speaker fitment in not accurate!!! Don't Blame us for a CHEAP PAIR SPEAKERS NOT FITTING!!!!!"

Interesting to say the least.. Wonder what's up with DFCC.. First they're telling everyone well simply drill new holes, now they're telling everyone to not buy them at all. Never here anymore, doesn't respond to emails...
