That's how mine look. I got mine for 25 bucks for the pair from crutch field and they included the wiring harness and brackets to mount them to the original places.

Re: Mounting 3 1/2" Dash Speakers?
Zach,
Thanks for confirming that I have them installed correctly. These are Kicker "KSC35" speakers. They seem to make the dash pad stick up a little. The tweeter may be a little high? I used a conversion plug-in wire harness also. Les Last edited by aotte1; 07-05-2015 at 05:01 PM. |

I also have kickers, not sure on the model! Great speakers though.

The bracket is correct. The factory speakers were flat so anything raised will contact the dash.

I can confirm this as well.
Have the same Kickers in the front of my Suburban, and when I was pressing the dash in, found out the speakers contact the dash. Dash cracked as I was pressing it back in.

Re: Mounting 3 1/2" Dash Speakers?
I recently installed the same speakers in my truck, 1985 GMC. I used the factory brackets as well. I did however mount the speakers on the underside of the brackets to gain some clearance. I did have to add some small washers to get them low enough. I hope it helps, good luck. Chris

Re: Mounting 3 1/2" Dash Speakers?
I mounted 4" pioneer speakers and didn't use the factory mounting brackets. I was only able to use a couple of the mounting holes, and had to bend the mounting frame on the speakers a little bit, but they fit.
Then I got an adapter that allowed me to put 2 Blaupunkt 3.5" speakers in the middle of the dash, so now I'm running 4 speakers up front and 2 6x9's in the rear in brackets I got from Bigblock73 here on the site. |
