These did not fit 2003 Honda Civic

Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)

 

I can't really complain about these, as they were free, but I had to drill mounting holes to get them to fit. They also caused the speakers to sit a bit too high.

Pros:

Free, allowed speakers to be installed.

Great kit, but it needs some more screws!

Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)

 

These fit the door well! My only issue is, since you aren't using the original speaker hardware and since you have to drill new mounting holes, it would be nice if this kit included some self-tapping screws for mounting to the door.

Pros:

- Fits the door well - Speakers were easy to install in brackets

Cons:

Does not include mounting hardware for the door

Stop complaining

Written By Dfdrummer1, Seattle, wa on Sunday, April 14, 2013

 

To anyone complaining about the included screws or not fitting the contours of their specific vehicle: the purpose if this product is to get speakers not made for your car to fit in your car and/or to add a spacer for vehicles where clearance is an issue. As a professional car audio installer I know that there is no such thing as a "perfect fit" when it comes to customizing anything car related. The purpose of a product like this is to allow the speaker to be mounted at all, whereas without it would not be possible. It is up to your own experience and creativity to make them work for your specific vehicle. If the hardware included doesn't work for you (which you shouldn't expect anyway), find hardware that does. Just realize that this product is not labeled "everything you need to install 6 1/5 inch pioneer component speakers into a 2001 Honda Pilot". This is a universal product. If you don't know what you are doing, don't blame the tools and products you are working with, blame your lack of experience.

Simpler to Install than it Seems

Written By ASacredCow, Madison, WI on Thursday, March 14, 2013

Installed in a 2002 Honda CRV LX

Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)

 

I used these to mount some Polk Audio db's in my 2002 Honda CR-V and was confused by the easy mount clips that came with the harnesses. In my case, turns out all you had to do was drill your own holes into the door and use the screws that were included. Once the confusion was set aside, it was a breeze to install. As long as you make sure everything is screwed together tightly, you'll run into no vibration problems (assuming you're not using these to install high-performance, competition-grade speakers) or speakers falling out in your door panel.

Pros:

Includes everything you need but the speaker itself, doesn't rattle for standard aftermarket speakers

Cons:

Installation instructions are a tad confusing

2005 Honda Civic

Written By Jay D, Olympia, WA on Friday, August 24, 2012

Installed in a 2005 Honda Civic

Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)

 

If your looking for Plug and Play - Good luck, it's just not out there... if you have some skills then these will work fine for you. I had to cut off the two longer tabs (which the instructions say to 'break off' any unused tabs), then I drilled holes in the door for the three smaller tabs, put some weatherstripping on the back for cushioning and attached them with screws... worked great!

Pros:

Nice quality brackets for 5 1/4" speakers.

Cons:

Certainly not plug and play like folks are looking for, but if you are creative you can make them work.

Great for Fiat 500 Front Door

Written By ralplpcr, Raleigh, NC on Monday, June 04, 2012

Installed in a 2012 Fiat 500

Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)

 

These were great in replacing the door speakers in my 2012 Fiat 500. The only thing I could have asked for different would have been some regular nuts instead of the speed nuts - - they just won't work with the existing hole on my car. You instead have to get behind the door liner and hold a nut to the back of the speaker while screwing them tight from the front. Once I did that, these provided a perfect fit to replace the factory speakers.

Pros:

Perfect fit to replace factory mounting bracket

Cons:

Speed nuts could not be used in my installation.

Did not fit

Written By Marshall, San Francisco, CA on Sunday, April 29, 2012

Installed in a 2008 Honda Fit

Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)

 

Did not fit on the 2008 Honda Fit for which Crutchfield said they would work. Since they were thinner than the OEM brackets I had enough space to rotate and bend them to get them to finally work, but they are certainly not appropriate for this car and do not sit flush against the door. Frustrating experience...

Honda CRV challening but worked

Written By Whately, Chapel Hill, NC on Tuesday, March 13, 2012

Installed in a 2004 Honda CRV LX

Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)

 

These one-size-fits-all adapters made mounting challenging on my '04 Honda CRV. The instructions weren't that helpful. Eventually I hit upon the following solution: I removed all the tabs from the adapter, drilled four holes in the door, then used the screws that came with my new Kenwood speakers to mount the adapter (without the tabs, the screws that come with the adapter are useless). That's the only way the adapter will sit flush with the door surface. Then I could mount the speaker to the adapter, using some screws from the hardware store. Some make/model specific instructions would have made this a lot easier.

Pros:

They work, and they came free with the speakers.

Cons:

Challenging install, needed different screws, vague instructions.

Works fine...

Written By JARblue, Austin, TX on Wednesday, February 08, 2012

Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)

 

The mounting brackets worked fine, but were pretty make-shift. The contours of the metal around the speaker opening in my doors did not allow the bracket to sit flush at all. I used some special acoustical foamboard as a backing which was incredibly tedious to cut to fit snug against the various contours of the door panel (this is more Honda's fault and also mine for having OCD about the install quality). I had to drill new holes in the door to install the bracket, and the speaker then screwed directly in the plastic casing of the bracket.

The fact that this bracket is for multiple makes and models reminds me of those tee-shirts that are labeled one-size-fits-all but are just size XXXXL. Sure it fits... just not well.

Pros:

Allows me to install 6.5" speakers in opening designed for much smaller speakers in my 2004 Honda Accord Coupe 6MT

Cons:

Install is not as simple as a custom bracket would have been. I would have paid more for a better product, but I simply couldn't find one for my Honda. Also, I really would have liked to use the factory screw holes.

Wrong part

Written By Nissan Leaf, Seattle on Monday, January 23, 2012

Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)

 

Crutchfield said that these brackets would fit my Nissan Leaf, but that is only if you drill new holes in your car door. The holes just don't line up. Completely the wrong part.

Pros:

did not use.

Cons:

did not fit. did not use.

Didn't fit, didn't use

Installed in a 1999 Saab 9-3

Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)

 

These came with my Boston Acoustics, but did not fit my Saab Viggen at all. I called Crutchfield tech support, and he was very friendly and tried to help, all he could offer was to send them back and try something else. We weren't sure what that would be, so I made the original brackets work . Just had to do some drilling through the plastic bracket and the door metal. Speakers sound good, I'm happy.

'05 Accord - weird factory door speakers

Written By Chris R, Cincinnati, OH on Monday, May 16, 2011

Installed in a 2005 Honda Accord LX

Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)

 

Honda has make their factory speakers custom with custom mounts. Their outer
speaker housing is plastic and it just snaps into the door sheet metal. This
bracket fits a generic template and new holes needed to be drilled. I wasn't sure
the door panel would fit until after mounting the speaker.
In the end it went fine, but drilling holes in the wifes car with the boss watching me
wasn't fun. I was afraid that I might need to sleep in the truck.

Speaker Mounting Brackets

Written By Aaron, Eastern Washington on Tuesday, March 01, 2011

Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)

 

These brackets were used to install Pioneer 6.5 door speakers. The brackets did work
although it did require drilling to mount these in the metal of the door. I would say they
did the job. The job itself was not too hard. The hardest part was figuring out how to take
the door panels off.

Speaker Brackets

Written By Jon, Westminster, CA on Saturday, February 19, 2011

Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)

 

This is a universal adapter that will likely need to be modified to fit a
specific vehicle. If you're handy with some basic tools you should be able to
make it fit. I too was disappointed it was not a direct fit for my car, but
after a little work I did get a solid fit in the front doors of my 2005 Honda
Accord.

This bracket does NOT fit a 98 Corolla properly!

Written By J.S., Grand Rapids, MI on Tuesday, January 18, 2011

Installed in a 1998 Toyota Corolla

Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)

 

My 6.5 inch pioneer speakers took close to 2 hours to install in the front
doors, and most of that was modifying and improvising these speaker brackets to
mount properly on my 1998 Toyota Corolla. My brother helped me with the
installation, and we had to use at least four washers that were not supplied
with the bracket or speakers in order to mount the speakers in the doors. We
had to dig around and find our own washers first. Yes, we were able to do it,
but the unexpected problems with these brackets easily doubled the total
installation time. I imagine that this problem will apply to the 98-2000 Toyota
Corolla models. You won't realize the problem until you get the door panel off
and get well into the installation process, and suddenly you realize that there
is no way to secure this speaker bracket to the car door without washers. I
wish I had taken pictures to post but I didn't realize I would be writing a
review and I don't want to take off the door panel again.
