Metra 82-5605 Speaker Mounting Brackets

Had to cut off the inner lips of brackets and sand them down a little for my Kicker front speakers, but beyond that, they worked exactly as needed.

Pros:

Cons:

I didn't like these because it didn't fit the speaker size. I had to brake the clip to put it on my truck

Pros:

Cons:

The adapters bolted right up to the factory location so no issues there. However, the included mounting hardware for the speaker was not so good I'm my opinion. I would have liked to have a speaker mounting screw that was of better design. The included screws were just long enough to reach the included backing plate. I ended up cracking the backing plate on one of the speaker holes. I believe if the screw was am 1/8 inch longer I would have been ok. I really would have liked to see a screw that would have self taped into the plastic holes. I will most likely have to pull out the speaker again and use a bolt and nut to secure the speaker. Probably should have did this from the start as I new the backing plates seemed weak.

Pros: Fit correctly and work as intended so far.

Cons: Speaker attaching hardware is weak but you could use you own screw, bolts if needed.

Installed aftermarket speakers in my 2017 Ford Focus ST, and this product made this installation a breeze.

Pros: Allows you to mount speakers to most cars easily.

Cons: Had to slice a notch to route speaker wire through.

awesome product

Pros:

Cons:

These rings are like magic making the installation of the speakers a snap! Brilliant!

Pros:

Cons:

Perfect fit for my new speakers and 2014 Ford Fusion (Front and Rear doors)

Pros: Didn't have to custom fit the speakers

Cons: No Cons but on 6.5" speakers you need to break the inner tabs off.

Made for easy installation

Pros:

Cons:

Works Great!

Pros:

Cons:

perfect for read deck in 2015-17 Mustangs

Pros:

Cons:

The first set of brackets Crutchfield included for my front speakers worked brilliantly. These however, did not. They did not fit the speakers I ordered. It took me to long to figure that out. Perhaps they would fit other speakers better, but I cannot give them a positive review. I messed with them for about an hour trying to fit the speakers I ordered in, too no avail. A personal waste of my time and energy. Better luck to you.

Pros: Fit vehicle well, easy to install in vehicle.

Cons: Did not fit speakers.. Or.. Difficult to fit speakers.

Perfect fit in factory location

Pros:

Cons:

Easy to work with, a few additional holes had to be drilled for speaker mounting.

Pros:

Cons:

The mounting brackets worked great but the instructions were lacking. I had trouble figuring out that I had to break off some tabs when using these with 6 3/4" speakers.

Pros:

Cons:

The adapters a big help

Pros: makes the swap easier

Cons: Didn't have holes for pass through of the wire harness,,had to cut them

Nothing spectacular, but they did help in my install. Mounting holes didn't line up, but I was able to just screw right into the plastic. They were included free in my speaker purchase, so well worth the money.

Pros:

Cons:

Two niggles the mounting screws provided with the speakers are just barely long enough to catch the clips, maybe longer screws with the mounting brackets. Also there is no penetration to feed the wires to the backs of the speakers. I drilled a hole to allow the pigtail to pass through.

Pros:

Cons:

Works great to accommodate new speakers in my car door.

Pros:

Cons:

These were sent with the Rockford Fosgate 6 3/4 inch speakers I ordered however the screw holes didn't line up with very well with the speaker. I was able to make it work but it required some extra work. It would have been nice to get brackets that fit.

Pros:

Cons:

Fit perfectly and easy to install

Pros:

Cons:

Perfect

Pros: Perfect fit

Cons: None

Crutchfield was great but the part wasn't an exact match for the screw holes in my car. Small issue

Pros:

Cons:

Perfect fit great quality.

Pros: great product

Cons: none

Fit very nicely.

Pros: Very good

Cons: None

Got for free with speaker purchase. Helped making replacing stock speakers a breeze! But would have been handy to have some instructions, stating you can break tabs off for larger speakers.

Pros: Ease of installation, ability to mount different speaker sizes

Cons: No instructions included mentioning about breaking tabs for larger speakers

Perfect fit 2018 mustang rear deck

Pros:

Cons:

Work pefect in 17 Mustang. Break out inner tabs, everything else mounts easily. Fits perfectly rock solid.

Pros: Price Fit

Cons: Instructions coukd be better

Great fitment, however I wish the manufacturer would think on adding an opening to insert the wires and connectors.

Pros:  Good Price  Good fitment

Cons:  Does not have an opening or a slot to run cables and connectors

Was a big help for the install. I had to drill a couple of holes, that's the reason for the four stars.

Pros:

Cons:

Overall they worked but definitely required modification to use with my Morel Maximo speakers. First, there were no real instructions and I couldn't figure out how to get the speaker to fit in the bracket. I finally realized that the interior tabs were capable/meant to be broken off for larger speakers. Then, the screws were not threaded so again it took me a while I was able to figure out that I had to use the black clips as "nuts" on the bottom of the screws to hold the speaker to the bracket. Finally, when I went to put the speaker in I realized there is no hole in the bracket to fit the speaker wire through! Luckily I was able to route the cable out another hole inside the door of my 2018 Mustang GT for both the front door speakers and rear tray speakers. These brackets should really have a hold for the wire to feed through though. Lastly, the biggest pain was that the screws which were used to secure the speakers to the brackets were so long that protruded past the bracket bottom and rested against the door metal frame when I installed it. At first I didn't notice but then when the speaker was playing it vibrated and rattled and sounded HORRIBLE. So I had to take the door panels and tray apart again, get a metal saw and cut off the ends of the screws so they wouldn't touch. Overall what should have taken an hour to install all these speakers resulted in 3 hours because of this bracket.

Pros:

Cons:

Easy to use, simple break off tabs if not needed. Would have preferred a tighter/stronger set of screws for securing the speakers to the plastic.

Pros: Easy break off tabs if not needed or in the way

Cons: Screws can strip out the plastic when trying to secure speakers too tightly.

Fit my new JL Audio C2-650X perfectly!

Pros:

Cons:

These functioned for the front door speakers of my 2018 Ford Transit, but the packaging states that it comes with "Detailed Installation Instructions" which were not included. This normally wouldn't be an issue since speaker mounting brackets are relatively straightforward, but the metal clips that you need to screw through are a little confusing and any sort of instruction would help make things easier. Crutchfield's order history is a little confusing as they state that these were intended for my tail door speakers when they were nowhere near large enough to fit those holes and worked very well for the front door speaker holes, so I'm not sure what's going on there.

Pros: functional, inexpensive

Cons: no instructions

Nice fit but when the speaker connections are below the flush mount adapter, it's hard to place wires coming out. These needed some adjustments to allow for that.

Pros: Free!!

Cons: Needed some trimming to accommodate speaker wires

Should come with better instructions and longer screws. But it works

Pros:

Cons:

Spacing and mounting holes were great, but there isn't a place provided to run the wires into the spacer. I just drilled a hole and all was good.

Pros: Good mount.

Cons: Needs to be modified on some installs.

Made the installation so easy and fast. Now if it had a hole on the side to run the speaker wires through that would be even better .

Pros: Had so many holes for just about every application.

Cons: Didn't have a hole on the side to run speaker wire through for my particular application on my Mustang .

Worked great, made for easy installation

Pros:

Cons:

These fit perfectly into my 2016 F150 back doors. This is the best way to go if you're mounting 6 1/2 speakers.

Pros: Fit perfectly

Cons:

Perfect fit and allows for deeper speakers, ie more power handling and deeper bass.

Pros: Easy install, perfect fit, expands capabilities

Cons: None

mounts could be improved

Pros:

Cons:

Love em! Perfect fit and no issues installing.

Pros:

Cons:

These adapters made it is easy to install.

Pros:

Cons:

Makes install so much faster!

Pros:

Cons:

made installation a breeze. everything lined up perfectly with the Polk Audio speakers and bolted right into the factory speaker mounts.

Pros:

Cons:

Fit perfect in the rear doors on my F150. No issues install

Pros: Makes live easy

Cons: None yet

Very pleased. The necessary free adapters that Crutchfield provided made installation in my 2016 F150 very easy. Sound quality much improved over my sock system. I replaced all 4 speakers and added a Kicker hideaway sub.

Pros:

Cons:

It works but I had to cut (dremel) these brackets to fit the 6.75 inch new speakers (Rockford Fosgate Prime R1675X2). They are still worth it to not have to modify original mounts in the Ford Mustang GT

Pros: You won't have to modify your existing mounting location.

Cons: You may have to modify this bracket to fit your new speakers. I had to modify them for my 6.75 inch Rockford Fosgate Prime R1675X2 speakers.

For the F150, you need to trim three inner parts of the mount before the speaker will go in. Also, holes dont line up perfect but it does the job. Got these gratis from Crutchfield with my speaker purchase so it was a killer deal.

Pros: Easy Free

Cons: Dremel needed for F150

Fit perfectly

Pros:

Cons:

A little dremel work to trim the interior ears and cut a slot for the cable was required, but the installation was perfect with the simple modifications.

Pros:

Cons:

Made it easy to install speakers

Pros: Easy to use

Cons: Nothing bad to say

Fantastic piece of equipment. No drilling required, just screw your speaker into the mount, then the mount into the doors previous screw holes and you're done. Made life 100x easier.

Pros:

Cons:

Quality is good, price is decent. Highly recommended!

Pros:

Cons:

This product made it very easy to install aftermarket speakers in my 2016 Ford Focus

Pros: It bolts right into the factory location with no modifications needed

Cons: None

Fits like a glove

Pros:

Cons:

These made installation in my 2017 Mustang easy. These were added on with my purchase of the door and deck speakers.

Pros: Easy install, needed them for my vehicle.

Cons: slight modification needed but easy to do.

Made install very easy and quick.

Pros: Makes install simple

Cons: On 6.75 inch speakers you may have to trim off some of the inside clips. No big deal .

Just did this install, the bracket I would give 5/5 but the hardware gets a 0. To get it to fit a 2014 Focus, you need to either dremel the inside mounting rings or buy #8-32 machine hardware. My front 2 speakers have the #8-32 locking hardware and it was much easier. I spent more time mounting the speakers than removing all the door panels.

Pros:

Cons:

Used these brackets to mount JBL Stage 602 speakers in door of 2013 Fusion. As noted in previous reviews, inner tabs had to be removed to fit speakers. Once tabs were removed, holes lined up perfect and were easy to install. Used side cutters to remove tabs, could use Dremel tool as well.

Pros: Work as advertised

Cons: Needed minor modification

Works great... keeps that factory look I wanted.

Pros: Just works

Cons: None

Fit into my 2012 Ford Focus like a glove. This item was populated Crutchfield for my 6.75" Kenwood KFC-1795PS Speakers. I had to cut out the inside tabs of the mounting bracket because they interfered with the framework of the speaker. Once they were go everything worked fine. They came off easily like they were supposed to but I didn't know if that was designed to be like that or not. ALl in all did just what I needed them to do.

Pros:

Cons:

Exactly what I needed to fit 6.5" speakers to both front and rear speakers for 2016 mustang.

Pros:

Cons:

These needed modification in order to work for my install, as they are a generic adapter. Everything fit after mod, however.

Pros: Good fit after being modded.

Cons: N/A

good best deal

Pros:

Cons:

Worked great, holes lined up perfectly. Did have to dremel off the inside tabs for the speaker to fit in, but was easy.

Pros: Fit very well

Cons: Needed to cut the inside tabs off for speaker to fit.

Mounts fit great in the front, but did not work for the rear speakers. Required lots of additional work to get the mm fitting

Pros: Nice fit in front

Cons: Lots of extra work to get fitting rear doors

Easier then making my own, but they did need to be modified. I had to cut out the tabs inside the ring to allow my speakers to fit.

Pros: Quick and easy way to mount speakers

Cons: Need to trim/cut tabs off the inside to ring to make speakers fit

makes installation so much easier

Pros:

Cons:

Fit perfectly into the factory speaker mounts - I did have to dremel off the inner mounting tabs for my speakers to fit, which wasn't that much of a problem. I found it best to use some foam mounting tape between the speaker and this bracket to isolate vibration.

Pros:

Cons:

Works great on my 2013 Ford Fusion. Gave the space needed to install me speakers.

Pros: Helped replaced the sad factory speakers in the car

Cons: One of the screw mounts could have had more plastic around it. Just be careful tighten that spot since I broke the first one.

Speakers bolted right up to bracket and bracket bolted right up to original holes. Made installation of speakers very stress free, was worried we would have to cut old brackets off original speakers in order to get them mounted . Great Job!!!

Cons:
