I don't have access to a printer large enough though. I need something with like a 250x250mm or larger bed. I did print the design on paper and test fit.. the clearances are extremely close because of the part that projects into the door.
I had those UAC speaker brackets. When installed, the speaker I put in ended up making contact with the window when rolled down. I switched to a "flat" adapter and have had no problem with the window ever since.

So they do work, but the difference in sound quality isn't that noticeable enough to make up for the limited space the bracket gives you.
