Some easy drilling needed.

Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)

 

For a 2009 Suby Forester, I had to drill one extra hole to match up the top screw, and make a notch to bring the speaker wires from behind the speakers to the front. Not much trouble.

Pros:

Does the job.

Cons:

Minor mods required.

Speaker Mounting Brackets

Written By Anonymous, Santa Clarita, CA on Monday, January 07, 2013

Installed in a 2000 Saturn LW1

Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)

 

Perfect fit for the front doors of my 2000 Saturn L-series wagon to replace the OEM factory speakers. Just make sure though that if your speakers that you buy doesn't come with mounting hardware to use #4-40 machined screws with nuts and washers to hold the speaker to this bracket.

Pros:

Exact fit for regular sized 6-1/2" aftermarket front speakers.

Cons:

None

2012 Forester

Written By Anonymous, Devine, TX on Saturday, December 29, 2012

Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)

 

Put Polk speakers in Forester to replace horrible OEM. This adapter plate did not work at all on the back door. I used the adapter plate that came with the Polk Audio DB 651 speakers and it worked fine, just had to drill one hole.

In the front the adapter worked well with the Polk DB 651S. I was able to drill a hole through the third tab to line up with the factory hole...did not have to drill the door at all.

Pros:

Works well with Polk Audio DB 651S in 2012 Subaru.

Cons:

Unnecessary for Polk Audio db 651 for rear door installation.

pain in the butt

Written By Randy, Hortonville, WI on Sunday, November 04, 2012

Installed in a 2009 Subaru Impreza

Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)

 

The speaker mounting brackets were real pain in the butt, good thing they were free. The front ones were hard to figure out the mounting position. Was told I only needed to drill 1 new hole in each door, I actually had to drill 4 in each of the front doors. Didn't even need to use the brackets for the rear doors.

Pros:

Can't really think of any except that I needed the 1 for the front doors

Cons:

Enough said

These do work for my 2011 Mitsubishi Lancer

Written By Craig L., Appleton, WI on Friday, October 26, 2012

Installed in a 2011 Mitsubishi Lancer

Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)

 

Contrary to what some reviews say, they fit. Just had to snap off the inner tabs with very little effort. This fits my 2011 Mitsubishi Lancer perfectly. I was able to mount my all four of my Pyle 6.5" speakers in about 30 minutes. The instructions were exact and true. Highly recommened for aftermarket setup. Even though it does not say "Mitsubishi" on the package, and there were a small lack of instructions, they work. Only needed a few screws to mount, but the instructions said that. Screws were only a dollar at the hardware store. It does not take a rocket scientest to figure it out.

Pros:

Very secure mounting for your expensive speakers

Cons:

None

2009 Forester Install

Written By RobD, Oakdale, CT on Saturday, October 20, 2012

Installed in a 2009 Subaru Forester

Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)

 

Installed these into a 2009 Subaru Forester front and rear doors for aftermarket Kenwood speakers and at first I was very confused and almost thought they didn't fit. There are absolutely no instructions and they are generic for use with several different makes/models so many different holes and hole patterns. After reading a review on here, I broke off the inner tabs (looks like they are made to break off if needed). Then I could mount the speaker inside the bracket and then the bracket to the door (needed to drill one hole in the door due to only two of the braket holes lining up). I thought it would be more custom for the car, but they are not. They work, but I was a little disappointed at the lack of instructions.

Pros:

They work for the 2009 Subaru Forester Free with the speakers I bought from Crutchfield

Cons:

No instructions Difficult to figure out what to do (i.e. break off the inner tabs) Not a perfect fit IMO, but they work

Does the job

Written By TomRiv, Boston, MA on Wednesday, August 01, 2012

Installed in a 2012 Subaru Forester

Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)

 

Contrary to the previous reviews, these do work fine on a 09-12 Subaru Forester. It's not a perfect fit since only two of the pre-drilled holes will line up. However all that is required to fix this is to drill an extra hole in the bracket itself.

Pros:

Free with speaker purchase (thanks Crutchfield!)

Cons:

Requires some modification to fit on 09-12 Subaru Forester

Wrong brackets

Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)

 

First of all these are not for 09+ Subaru Forester. On the bag it said "Chevrolet Equinox/Saturn Vue" Although I managed to fit these but it was not so easy. I had to do some modifications (I had to break the center mounting tubs to fit 5.75 Polk speakers for the front doors. No screws were supplied either. My speakers came with a mounting kit. I was so happy for that. It took me some 4 hours to install all 4.

These DO work for '08 to '11 Impreza

Written By BWX, NY on Tuesday, March 20, 2012

Installed in a 2009 Subaru Impreza

Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)

 

They worked fine for me, I didn't have to drill holes in my car and had plenty of room for the Polk db65s 6.25'' speakers. You have to rotate them to find correct holes to use. I added some layers of insulation foam to fill in gap from top of speaker to back of door card for more air tight seal. It was tight on the metal surface though. I still made a gasket for the under side too though. Easy, even enjoyable to install speakers with these.

Pros:

They worked for me.

Did not even come close to fitting

Written By MrJ, Kew Gardens, NY on Monday, March 12, 2012

Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)

 

These were sent to me for my 2012 Hyundai Elantra (both fronts and rears). They did not come close to matching up with the factory openings. The brackets that came with the speakers were much closer. I give one star not for the quality of the product, but for the fit.

Pros:

None

Cons:

Totally wrong for my car.

Speaker Mounting Brackets

Written By StevieP, Atlanta, GA on Monday, February 27, 2012

Installed in a 2009 Subaru Impreza WRX

Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)

 

For a 2009 WRX 5dr hatch - These worked, but required some modification. 2 of the 3 mounting holes lined up with the car door, so I had to drill the third hole... no big deal.

I fitted these to a set of JL CR-650x. I had to break out the center mounting tabs on the bracket to fit the speaker, and then redrill mounting holes in the bracket to fit the speaker.

Pros:

I didn't have to cut up my own spacer rings... these work with minimal effort to modify them.

Cons:

They require modifications to work.

little confusing

Written By jay, Ashburnham on Thursday, February 09, 2012

Installed in a 2010 Subaru Impreza

Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)

 

Very little explanation on how to install these speaker mounts. Finally figured it out and got them to fit in my 2010 Subaru Impreza. To make these mounts work on my subaru I had to break the tabs on the inside of the mount which went against all of my instincts. Once they are broken the speaker fits to the mount and the mount and speaker fit in the door properly.

Pros:

fits

Cons:

confusing

Wrong for my car as well...

Written By Karno, Missouri on Saturday, February 04, 2012

Installed in a 2011 Hyundai Elantra

Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)

 

Sent me these speaker mounting kits for my door speakers I ordered. Totally didn't work or fit. Could not be fabricated to be made to work. Even if they could, the speaker magnet would have hindered the operation of the front windows (speaker magnet would have hit the window glass). Didn't bother to call; figured I would have been made to feel I was doing it wrong. Spent a good hour and a half fabricating my own from the existing factory speakers.

VERY DISAPPOINTED... would like my hour and a half back Crutchfield.

Pros:

None

Cons:

As stated above

Wrong brackets

Written By Anonymous, KY on Thursday, October 06, 2011

Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)

 

These are wrong brackets. These are suppose to be for this vehicle. It clearly states on their web site and on the kit as "Chevrolet Equinox/Saturn Vue". No mention of Honda.

I have to goto lowes and buy extra hardware to make this work.

I was very disappointed when I called and pointed out to Crutchfield advisors, And I have talked to a couple, all say that these kits are for multiple vehicles and make you feel that you don't know anything. I bet none have them seen these kits and have seen/installed them.

You can buy speakers cheaper elsewhere.. save money and buy the cheaper one. I bought from Crutchfield because of these free extras.

Crutchfield response on Thursday, October 20, 2011

Thank you for alerting us to a problem. We did some further research and found a better set of brackets for your vehicle, so we won't be selling these for Hondas such as yours in the future.

These were sent in the package on a speaker install on a Honda Civic. As these are for a GM product, they're obviously useless. Fortunately, I was able to fab a bracket.

Very Cheap plastic that doesn't fit the car as Crutchfield said it would. Prepare to make your own brackets or be re-drilling all holes.
