I got all my new speakers from Kicker. I believe I got them from Crutchfields. I replaced the dash speakers with Kickers also.

Do you have a part number for the speakers? I purchased some rear speakers from RetroSound and they won't fit due to the magnet being t0o large. Thanks.

No, I got those a good while ago. But I’ll look them up online for you.

Update: that didn’t take long.

those have 4 mounting screws, not 2. Did you have to modify the mounting brackets?

Guess I’m kind of confused on the mounting hole number. I didn’t have to modify anything. All the brackets have multiple holes for the speakers to mount. Look at post #2 and #13, they have multiple holes. And these are all different brackets. And then I looked back thru all my old pics, and found yet another bracket and it also has multiple holes.

Weird. My factory brackets only have 2 mounting holes for the speakers, one at the top and one at the bottom.

Just to make sure we are talking about the same thing. Even the repop bracket from LMC has multiple holes for the speaker to mount.
Now I did notice that the speaker that LMC sells, ionly has 2 mounting points, but it would still work since there are plenty of predrilled holes in the brackets.
