They work

Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
 
They do the job but ... had to widen the slots for the screws. Could not use the "speed" clips. Ended up getting my own nuts and bolts to use them.
Cons:
Speed clips need to be re-engineered. .

6x8 to 5 1/4 bracket

Written By Scott, Norfolk, NY on Monday, May 13, 2013
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
 
This item came free with my speaker purchase. Good thick plastic but the speaker hole is a little too big. I recommend buying the foam baffles to ensure a good tight fit. I did and my speakers sound great.

not a perfect fit

Written By Lunarwolf, Sterling, CT on Wednesday, January 02, 2013
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
 
i bought Pioneer 5 1/4 components so i needed some of these. so i bought them. the hole was large enough to fit 5 1/2 in them. regardless they fit i just had to seal it with some Butyl rubber sealant 1/16 to 1/8 inch space between the edge of the speaker and the hole edge of the adapter then they worked fine.. buying these be prepared to do a lil extra. No idea how my mb quart rear 5 1/4s will fit with these.. ill update when i go to install. they however fit the 6x8 hole perfectly
Pros:
cheap durable
Cons:
dont quite fit 5 1/4 speakers. hole could be smaller.

Worked okay. Would attach speakers with machine screws and locking nuts next time, instead of using the hardware that came with the Sound Ordnance speakers.
Pros:
Free with purchase
Cons:
Should come with gaskets or something

Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
 
Fit in stock location with Boston Acoustic Speakers there is a substantial void when you insert the speaker so there it is not air tight. I would recommend using a cut out made from MDF or HDF to ensure your speaker fits properly.
Pros:
Fit in Speaker hole
Cons:
Speaker cut out to large for speaker

Provieds more options

Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
 
I took off a star only because the instructions that came with the brackets were
a bit vague. Wasn't specific on weather to mount the bracket first then install
the speaker or vise versa. I just installed the bracket first then the speaker
and worked out fine. This bracket does provide more speaker size/shape options
without drilling or cutting into your doors. My stock speakers were 6X8s (oval)
and I chose to install 5.25" (round). Once again Crutchfield provided these
brackets free of charge with the purchase of speakers! Thanks Crutchfield!!!

These things are a snap to install and easily allowed me to install 5.25
speakers in a 5x7 hole.

The fact that they are included at no charge is an awesome perk.

Universal 6"x8" to 5-1/4" Bracket

Written By Daniel, New Jersey on Saturday, February 21, 2009
Installed in a 2007 Ford F-150
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
 
These adapter plates are a super easy and convenient way to get round
speakers into an oval opening. I cut off and discarded the cup of a foam
speaker baffle and used the remaining ring between the woofer and this
plate. I also put a piece of Dynamat on the door behind and around the
speaker opening. The result is a phenomenol sounding pair of component
speakers. Neat, clean and noise-free install. Thank you Crutchfiled for
coming through once again.

Not worth paying for these.

Written By MGDboy111, Kankakee, IL on Friday, February 06, 2009
Installed in a 2005 Ford F-150
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
 
Ya they are great if they come free. But they come with no hardware to install. I used brand new Kenwood KFC1361S with these, the screws that same with the speakers were too small to catch on the plastic. So I had to go spend $4 more for 8 screws.

Good thick plastic is about the only plus right now.

Since it just comes with 2 pieces of plastic and no screws I would say this is not worth the price!

fit fine but are flimsy

Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
 
these adapter brackets make speaker install very easy and they went into my car with no problems. however, they are a bit flimsy and you are not able to tighten the speaker mounting screws very much at all. you can see the slots in the pictures. those slots are where the speaker mounting screws get screwed. it's thin plastic so the strip out very easily. they seem to have done the job so far but you should be careful when using them.

I found the speakers that I wanted but they came in a 5 1/4" size only. These adapters made the installation a lot easier and saved me the cost of having to have custom adapters made.
