speaker adapter brackets

[MattM450]

i just got some polk 6-3/4" speakers for the rear of my 1995 camaro (without bose system, hatchback), because crutchfield said they would fit. turns out the holes for the screws do not line up, and i cannot find a speaker adapter bracket online. it seems that the stock rear speakers were bigger, does anyone know what size they are? that would help me find a bracket. has anyone else run into this problem, and how did you get past it? build your own? that seems like a pain in the *** to me im just trying to mount my speakers up. thanks, this is real frustrating.

possibly rotate them so they are offset from the stock screw holes and drill new holes?

Yep. Just about what everyone does. Easy and should only take a second. And for the love of god, mark where the holes are going to be drilled. Then REMOVE THE SPEAKER. Drill the holes and move on. DO NOT attempt to hold the speaker in place and drill the hole through the speaker's mounting bracket....unless you want a hole in your new speaker's surround. Geez. Some people.

The stock size IS indeed 6 3/4" though. GM just screwed us all and decided to get nuts on their mounting design.

^I've seen careless people with drills/drivers too often. Buddy tried screwing his sub into a box and forced the drill right off the screw head. Punched an extra hole in that Punch sub.
