I originally had mono speaker dash, insurance replaced the dash with a stereo dash. i have brackets but would like to see pics of how the brackets mount to the dash, and how the speakers mount as well.

I can see that the curved edge screws to the cowl under the windshield, but the rest isn't quite making sense to me.

OK, so I can see that there are little "L" shaped brackets that attach the speaker to the bracket. Hope my Infinity 4x6's come with these, that or I can get them somewhere else.

nope they dont come with em. I can already tell you will have an issue getting the left speaker to fit. most of the newer speakers have a huge magnet and it hits on the cluster. If you have a sweep dash you might not have a promblem. In order to make mine fit i had to make a bracket using sheet metal. Even so the output from these little speakers is not much if anything.

I am using autometer gauges in the covans dash, so hopefully there's plenty of room.

I figured on maybe a 1% shot they'd come with them, luckily I've got lots of scrap sheetmetal laying around.

If they don't fit, www.turnswitch.com sells modern replacements with those small brackets already attached for $80. (I just found out about them or I'd have ordered those from the get-go)

The magnets on their speakers are also the right size in order to avoid fit/clearance problems.

I know this is an old thread but I'm faced with the same problem. I looked at the pictures posted by "FerrariTruck" but I don't really see the brackets enough…Would someone have better detailed pictures please?

Trivia:
When I did my frame off on my 70 with A/C. Of all places,,, I went to the local Chevy Dealer and talked to the parts man. I wound up with two speakers that fit my 70 SS dash. I believe they were for a Chevy Celebrity and they had ( The CORRECT pig tail and PLUG that went into the 70 Radio harness, AND the wires from the speaker were Black & Green like the org.
Kinda Sorta like a O.E.M. replacement. Less than $30.00 for two factory correct speakers.
