Yes, you need to pull them out and install JBL P652S which are 6-1/2"  
Two-way shallow mount speakers designed for just that type of situation.

fixed the problem  
i used a plastic spacer that came with the jbl speakers  
it put it between the speaker and the car to raise the speaker up  
its clears now
