i bought 6.5" spacers from best buy and i used my dremel to trim out the inside to amke them fit the speakers. I then used foam weather seal both on the speaker and on the back of the spacer. i then cut a 1.5" hole in that metal piece behind where the speaker goes to allow the subwoofer to vent back there.
people have posted pics of all of this in a thread in the section. just do some searching.

If you use a .5" spacer, forget about the holesaw (unless you have easy access) -- there will be no problems.
As for the glue -- you could use rope caulk instead if you have any of that -- otherwise, use anything that will remain flexible permanently. Or if you wish, screw the wood into dynamat (or similar) -- the glue/whatever you use isn't necessarily to hold the speaker or anything - but to help seal/dampen vibrations (the speaker sits nice on a spacer...but the metal surface is not perfectly flat..)

I just installed mine today. first you will definately need some type of caulk. I used .5" partical board as a spacer and no caulk at first. I was not happy with the sound of the speakers at all. I took it all out and reinstalled with caulk, big difference! I think you will be happy with your new speakers. I still need to sand down the front of the spacer since the speakers are hitting the sail pannel speaker grill when turned up
