If you order from crutchfield, they will send the brackets you need with the speakers for free.

I'd vote Pioneer over Kenwood anyday.

Polk has some good home audio stuff. Don't know about their car stuff.

The difficulty with the 3.5 inch speakers is that even on the best day they do not have good bass response. I have a suburban with the same dash and fortunately I have decent speakers in the rear so I do not rely on the fronts for more than clarity.

Another consideration is the intended volume. Extremely high power handling speakers often have a steep curve of pwer requirements before their sound rpessure levels come up. I am saying that sometimes a less "HIFI" speaker can have better sound at lower volumes. Another consideration is to try to balance the quality of any other speakers in the truck with the ones you install.

Just my 2 cents

these speakers are for the military radio????

I just like the little 4 inch aux box.... It had awsome sound
especially when it was the BC screaming at me for something.......

They are for a modern cd player with am/fm etc.

sorry 86, I kinda figured that.....
just pullin your chain!!

I put3.5's in the front and bought Civi rear brackets and put some pioneers in them

I got 3.5 2 way kickers in mine, I also got my brackets from a civi as well. Sounds great.

Now, I would want HIFI high quality speakers and then pipe the SINGCARS into the system to blast the hiss of the radio as loud as possible....no, I am just kidding.....
