A lot of people incl myself don’t want to buy aftermarket speaker brackets because:
1. They can be expensive
2. A lot of them are flimsy
3. They don’t always have a perfect fit (mounting holes + position of speaker)
4. You usually have to drill a hole in them to run the wiring
There are a few tricks to getting aftermarket speakers into the OEM speaker brackets, which ends up saving you from having to get adapter plugs as well. Certain Lexus models w/ Mark Levinson and Toyota models w/ JBL have these brackets that can be used.
