I have speakers picked out on amazon to replace my stock ones. Since I am replacing my factory front speakers do I also need to pick up a set of those adapter brackets or is that only for when you do bigger speakers in the front
Are your replacing the fronts with the stock size 4x6’s ? Then it would be no to the brackets. If your replacing with 5.25’s then , yes you’ll need the brackets.
I put a pair of 6.5" Sony 4 ways into my sound bar. Nice fit without any cutting and made me want to throw rocks at the factory 5.25" speakers that were there.
I replaced the front with Polk 4×6 and needed an adapter bracket on my 06 with the "upgraded" system. The cheap Amazon brackets are a fairly thick plastic that were nice and rigid and fit perfectly.
