I offer them with two different opening sizes, 6" and 6.5", as the "6.5" speakers on the market have a wide range of opening sizes.

I will be using the focal 165AS in the rear.Their spec sheet says 140mm which roughly translates to 5.6". Which, if either would work for me?

The two sizes I have are 5-7/8” and 6.5”. I’d buy the smaller ones, you should be fine. If that works, just send the funds to www.73-87.com

Your inbox I sent full, please clear it out and either send me a message, or text me at 612-558-1666

I was wrong on my opening sizes, I have 5-1/4" and 6" ( I was in DC for work and was going off memory)

I researched your speakers, the mounting diameter is right at 6", so you would need to buy the smaller 5.25" and enlarge to 5-9/16"

Again, PM or text so we can coordinate this.

Re: 73-87 cab corner 6X9 speaker brackets - 2nd series
Hi Jeff
Just wondering how much room there is between the shelf below the bracket,and the base of the bracket?
My dilemma is, I have the original cardboard tray and I'm trying to see from the pics if there's enough room for both.
The tray side is about 3" tall.
I may need to do some trimming?!
Thanks in advance
Conrad

Hi Conrad, I’ll get you a measurement tonight. I do believe you will need to do some minor trimming to make the tray fit.

I'm going to give a shout out every chance I get for these brackets! I no longer own my Square, but these brackets are first class and fit perfectly. Plus, you're supporting a board member/vendor!

Jeff, my 1977 C10 does have one of the seat belt retractors mounted to the pillar. The main retractor is mounted to the floor. You have said the early 3-point type seatbelts won't work with your brackets. Have you heard of a work-around for these speaker brackets to work with this seat belt set-up?

That mid mount retractor screws everything up. It’s actually a terrible design, and why GM ran them less than a full year. Ditch them for the 77/78 and up floor mount belts. They work much better, and will work with the brackets.

Received the brackets on Thursday. They look great and well made. I used to work in the sheet metal fabrication industry, so I know good work when I see it!
