I'll let you know on Thursday when they get here.....but it does appear that crossbones has already done this.

They fit with the speaker Brackets, if you don't get the brackets they won't fit...

buy speakers from crutchfield and get them for a hell of a lot cheaper....the reason they are cheaper is because they GIVE YOU THE HARNESS AND MOUNTING RINGS FOR FREE!!!

i don't care if they are a sponsor or not. being a sponsor here isn't a license to charge outrageous prices.
crutchfield has great customer service too, even though they don't post here.

Oh good lord.

If you think they are to expensive, dont buy them. (I think they are WAY to expensive, so i wont be)

There isn't anything wrong with buying from a cheaper source. We do of course endorse our sponsors as much as possible because they help pay the bills, but if they are that far out of the ballpark, then speaking with your dollar is the best voice we have.

Did anyone bother to call them and let them know how far out in left field they are on their pricing for this?!??? ~ I'd venture to guess: probably not.

I have delt with Crutchfield for years and have no problems giving them a call about getting new ones for mine (If & when i get around to it), but i would START by calling the sponsoring vendors and making them aware i did find the same thing elsewhere, substantially cheaper. Maybe they will bend. Heck, maybe not, but that's what I'd do.

Ayup, as have I in similar situations

I know Q-tec is responding here, and no offense intended towards them in any way, but how far up the ladder is that really going?

It seems they are trying, but a bunch of customers on the phone, with $ in their hands, is a lot different than a few people (me included) sitting around whining on an internet forum.
