I used similar foam baffles made by XTC. The shallow version, though depth probably doesn't matter for the dash since there's so much room there.

I had to trim off about 1/4" from each side and pierce the screw and wire holes with a razor blade. That was about it.

It was a tight fit, but they went in with the original screws, too.

Those speakers will sound great. I wasn't even upgrading from stock speakers. I was upgrading from an older cheaper set of Pioneer speakers that also had integrated tweeters. These blow them away.

Those foam baffles were ones I got from Crutchfield. I think I got the shallow ones? (this would have been decades ago!)

I probably cut the corners off a bit so it would not look raggedy.
The foam is soft and squishes into the hole.

Dunno if helps bass any - since they are 4"
It DOES keep the mouse poop off the speakers if the mice build a nest about the passenger side speaker...

I put Memphis Audio 4 inchers in the dash of my '87 4runner. Dropped right in, nice sound.
