All brackets went out AFTER Thanksgiving holiday weekend. Please keep in mind, these are custom made pieces, fabricated in what little spare time I have after working my M-F full time job, after my weekend part time job, and after family obligations. Your brackets will be there any day now, perhaps tomorrow if they didn't already show up today.


Please PM me if you have any questions and I will answer...you initial pm did not require a reply, I apologize if you were waiting for one.

Re: 73-87 cab corner 6X9 speaker brackets - 2nd series

Nice lookin product, question..

It's mentioned that the biggest speaker magnet that fits is 4". It says that a 1/2" spacer potentially fixes this.

Just measured the speakers waiting to go in the 83, and the magnets are 4 - 3/8". Is a 1/2" or bigger spacer gonna put the speaker into the side of the bench seat?

TIA

Re: 73-87 cab corner 6X9 speaker brackets - 2nd series

A spacer should fit fine...but magnet diameter and magnet depth both play a factor in how the speakers will fit. A 4" magnet could fit fine if has a shallow mounting depth.

I'd like a pair of these speaker brackets when you get a chance. I've got a '86 Chevy K10. I'll PM you as well, thanks!

These will fit most 6x9 speakers, however, I found out the hard way they will not accomodate 6x9's with 4" diameter magnets. With that being said, I assume you could make them work with the use of a small spacer or slight modifying and repositioning of the speaker bracket itself. 6x9's with a 3 1/4" magnet fit absolutely perfect with no modifications needed. These are made of heavy 16 ga steel, will be delivered bare steel, so you'll need to paint to match your interior or exterior. Basic self-tapping sheet metal screws will be provided. I decided to use stainless steel button head screws and lock nuts when I mounted these in my '73, felt it matched my interior better.

Please study the below picture carefully to ensure these brackets will fit your truck. I believe some of the early 3-point belt trucks had the retractors mounted where the top of these brackets sit...and therefore will not work.

These will also fit 88-91 OBS crew cabs.


Price for a set of these will be $65 shipped to your door (lower 48 only). I feel this is very comparable to those carpeted 6x9 boxes or other fiberglass/plastic enclosures available...but look 10 times better and are quality made out of steel, just like the trucks they are going in.

To see pictures and read feedback of others who have purchased these from me in the past, please click the link below.

If interested, please reply here and send me a PM. I accept and prefer PAYPAL, but will take money orders or cashiers checks.
I need a set for a 1986 c10. please let me know.
thanks you.
