A perfect system starts off with perfect aftermarket car speakers. If you are a fanatic of a great sounding speaker, then the Rockford Fosgate Punch Series is meant for you. It is a full-range speaker with a flex-fit basket to ensure compatibility. By utilizing slots instead of single sized screw holes, allows for a slight adjustment of the speaker when mounted. This becomes useful if you are mounting the speakers in an odd shaped factory speaker location. The integrated concealed crossover hides the crossover inside the basket, decreasing and simplifying installation time. Minimizing the time between taking the speakers out of the box to installing them in your vehicle, the Punch speakers feature an OEM Adapter plate system that allows full-range speaker to fit in certain openings. The adapter plate features “break-away” tabs that can be removed to fit all speaker sizes.
The Punch series speakers feature VAST (Vertical Attach Surround Technique) which increases a speaker’s effective radiating cone area without complicating installation. The design eliminates the large flat glue surface area which allows the surround to be shifted for increased cone area. With this, nominal efficiency and maximum output capabilities are improved. The P142 is a 4” 2-Way speaker that has all the features mentioned above.

Purchased these to go into a 1984 Toyota Pick Prerunner. Original factory speakers, aside from being 28 years old, are junk. Quick Fit guide said that these would fit the truck. I started installing car stereos for my brothers and his friends when I was 13, so I've been a Fosgate Fan for the past 20 years (yes, I'm that old). I was excited to find a good deal on a set of 4" Punch 2-way speakers.
When the speakers came in, I pulled one out of the box and compared it to the factory speakers. There was an evident size discrepancy. The Fosgates were quite a big bigger than the factory speakers. Right then I knew this was not going to be an easy swap.
Now, I'm sure many of you don't know what the factory mounting spaced for an '84 Toyota 2wd Pickup look like, but they're directly below the air vents in a long, hallway like space. After a quick test fit, I was assured these speakers DID NOT fit. If you look at the pics, you'll see t hat there are four elongated mounting spots at the top, bottom and each side of the speaker. All of these had to be removed. I then had to dremel quite a bit of plastic out of each side of the "hallway" the speakers mounted in. I don't have a cordless dremel so it made it very interesting. Once all of that was done, I was able to finagle the speakers into up against the area they were to be mounted. The speakers did come with 8 screws and a hex bit to drive them with. These came in handy and I used two on each speaker. One in the factory mounting area and one in a new spot so the coarse threads of the screws would grab the plastic. Ones it was all said and done, the speakers sounded great.
The speakers offer rich mids and amazing highs. If you're getting these to add some "bump and thump" you're doing it wrong. That's what Subs are for. The sound quality is excellent, even from the crappy head unit.
TL/ DR: Even when you're told the speakers will fit, they may not so be prepared to do some creative installing or get someone who knows what they're doing to install them.
Sound quality is amazing and I'm very happy with the speakers. They're a great compliment to any system!

I have a 96 Mustang GT with worn out speakers. I wanted something that sounded very clear and powerful. I wanted something that compared to a new cars high end audio system. The speakers did that and more. They are clean and crisp, but aren't too much. The would sound great with subs, but doesn't need them. They have enough bass as it is.
