I bought a pair of Polk 5x7" door speakers for my 2013 GT Prem but they are completely different than the exisiting speakers. These speakers would have fit w/o modification in my 2010 GT Prem but Ford has redesigned the door apparently on the 2013. The mounting holes are completely different and weird on the 2013. They will fit only with some kind of spacer or brace.

Crutchfield sells an adapter brace that you have to cut and modify that suppose to be used for cases like this. I was wondering if anyone had any photos showing how they mounted after market speakers in a 2013 GT Prem.

Thanks

There are a few threads about this. I'm sure someone else will chime in, but if you can't find them via the search feature by the time I get home from work, I'll post it up for you.

You can buy the mounting bracket from Tousley Ford for cheapish. Something like $10 if my memory serves me correctly, and then you wouldn't have to cut the Crutchfield bracket.

Hi. I went to Tousley site but all I saw were brackets for a 2010 which are not the same as the 2013. I replaced the speakers on my 2010 and I still have the old ones. They are completey different than the 2013. That is why I am hoping a photo would help resolve. Thanks.

Two more photos. One shows the pre-scored plastic board that Crutchfield sent me which is suppose to be use to adapt different speakers to a car. As you can see I was able to cut out the big hole for the speaker. I still need to trim it down to size once I take the door panel off again. The second photo shows the original Ford speaker from my 2010 GT Prem next to the new Polk. As I stated before, the 2010 speaker and the Polk fit interchangably where as the 2013 door and speaker are not the same.
