6×9s

[Z28 Guy]

Hey guys... what 6×9s will work in the cab corner with the tinworks mounts ?

I been told that all of them wouldnt work due to the magnet being too thick.

I want to put a good pair of 6×9s un the truck but i want to make sure they wiill work before i purchase a pair.

Like this. They fit. Thing is the magnets on these speakers seem to me to be on the small side.

Was it alot of room left ? Are you happy with those Kenwood speakers ?

Can't see behind speakers as mounted. There not touching as there's no vibration on the outside corners or metallic rattles up loud.
To me they sound good. They're brand new. I like to hear the truck run and the traffic around me so I don't crank'um all the way up.

Pretty cheap speakers really. Well rated.

I got all Kenwood sound system in my vehicles. Good price for good quality imo.

6x9’s fit nicely in the corners. I’ve done this setup on a few squares

Go with the Infinity Reference speakers. They sound incredible, and don't have giant magnets. Should work. They are also 3 ohms, so you get a little more juice out of your stereo.

45tt- are those JBL speakers ?

Johny- ive heard alot about them. Been reading reviews like crazy.

82- its a love or hate relationship with Kenwood ive noticed...

I believe they are JBL. I originally wanted Kenwood because I have a vintage Kenwood radio, but couldn’t find a 6x9 Kenwood at Best Buy, so I went with what they had on the shelf that had the best sound

I also have Infinity Reference and they fit with no issues and sound is great.

Yeah I am installing a pair of 3.5” infinity reference speakers in the dash today in place of the single 4x10. I am all in on infinity. Have used everything out there and think they are the most musical and best sounding speakers out. If you buy on Amazon they have a bunch of them in the Amazon renewed store. It’s how I have gotten my last couple sets. Basically paid half and they were new still in plastic. Great deal.

Any idea on the depth allowance in those cab corners?

 

[Z28 Guy]

Thats the million dollar question i asked in the first post...

 

[DrvnDrvr]

Sorry , but to measure that I'd have to drill out the rivets that I used mount the brackets and remove the small bolts I used with lock washers and locktite to mount the speakers to the bracket. I
I didn't want them coming loose and I ain't taking it apart.
I don't see a way to mount the brackets first then the speaker.
I used low rear profile speakers to give me the best chance of fitting. I read reviews where people used spacers between the speaker and bracket to get them to fit.

The Infinity REF-9623ix have a mounting depth of 3-1/16". I didn't measure bfore I intalled mine but I used these brackets to do it and they do not hit: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08M3X8TXD/
