The BSW site mentions glueing some part onto the replacement speaker. Is this an issue with the Pioneers?

Thanks for your advice.
You will not need any adapters. The speaker looks like this:


What I did is bending the 4 outer tabs then force it down inside the OEM housing. You have to keep trying until you get the perfect bend. I did not use glue or silicon. I did not even screw them!
