front speakers help

[CrammerGram69]

Recently I've been looking online and asking on Facebook asking about which brands work but getting limited answers. So i came here. I want to go with these CS kickers. Has anyone else used them? How do they fit? Or what do you suggest that does fit and sound really good? Really need help on this. https://www.crutchfield.com/p_20646CC354/Kicker-46CSC354.html

are you wanting to replace the speakers across the top of the dash ?
the magnets on these appear too deep for the dash area.

Yes. Mine are shot and i can't find any direct replacements. Mine only had the two corner ones. Delete plate in the middle. just been searching the last week or more. Getting real Cold here in Michigan and the dash is ready to go back in the car

I honestly think just about any 3.5" speakers would work. Here's a video I did when I had my dash out and was replacing the speakers (it's a pain BTW).

I went a different route, when I was doing my interior in the Monte and making my upper door panels, I made a spot for a 6.5" component speaker and put the tweeters where the old 3.5" dash ones were.

I used these CH3220's, but had to mount them from the bottom to clear the grilles. Much easier if the dash is already out.

Rktpwrd and Injectedcutty have apparently used the brs35's

not all 3.5's will fit,I bought some kickers that were sweet but the mag size wouldn't allow it to fit

Got mine mocked up, a bit tight on the Pass side next to the Vent but fits fine for me. Yay!

My Cutlass only had the dash speakers originally. While I had the interior partially out to repair the headliner, I went ahead and ran wires along the rocker wire channel and behind the rear seat, then added these to the rear deck:

Not gonna win any audio contests, but they serve my purposes well. I had to space them down a little to keep the tweeters from hitting the grilles in the package tray (it was in good shape and I didn't want to cut it). The worst part was crawling my fat *ss up in the trunk to bolt them in.

oh nice, i decided on the KS series Kickers, and got them on the way, in the mean time i am trying to locate a rear un-cut speaker harness. M&H Electric is out 20 weeks for made-to-order reproductions
