Having a little bit of an issue with speaker install..

So i just bought infinity kappa perfect 6.1's.

I need speaker spacers, the spacers i have are too big and interfere with the door panel, and the other set of spacers i have are too small and the speaker interferes with the window mechanism.

Does anyone know where i can purchase spacers that fit our wierd-shaped stock location?

I cut mine out of marine grade plywood I had lying around.
Go pick up a 2' x 4' piece of 3/4" mdf fpr $11 at home depot and get cuttin'.

I did NOT ground to the battery, sanded through paint to bare metal and attached my ground to the inner fender, about where the factory amp is located.
The only reason I'd know of that an amp would go into protect mode is if its getting too hot or its pushed too hard. I installed a 50wx4 Alpine in my mini and my MB Quarts are rated at 50w rms and I have no problems, not sure why your 100w fronts would be popping it if its rated at 125w per channel.

Is it wired up at 4ohm set-up?

Try contacting the dealer that sold you the amp, definitely something up with it. If you bought second hanf then contact Infinity customer support or tech line.
