i found some brackets on crutchfield for 12 bucks and used them for the front as a bracket....works really good...just need a little modification to them thats all...it works for my rear too which required no modification to the brackets....i know how u feel when u found out they dont fit so just let me know if u need anymore help...but i think the best way to go is to buy the 6 1/2 adapter bracket from www.crutchfield.com for 12 bucks...let me know if u need anymore help
