By the way, to the genius who posted this idea initially - thank you so much. I have no idea how much time and frustration this saved, but it was awesome.
I bought mine on Amazon, (like 99% of the things I buy in life). $7!

These are shorter than recommended, so I doubled them up.
Also, interesting tip: put two together, with a washer in between. Now glue the washer to the female side only, then let it sit overnight. Then when you take it apart, you've got a washer perfectly glued to the top of the standoff.

Good idea on gluing a washer on them. Gonna be a while before I can get new speakers to replace mine.
Removing the old ones wasnt much of a problem..cept one of the nuts on the passenger side one wouldnt come off..had to wiggle n twist the speaker to get it loose.
Driver side came right out easy peasy.
Biggest suggestion I can give...remove your seats...Id have still been trying to squeeze under the steering wheel if mine werent already out.

Thanks! I'm not sure about the genius part tho . I'm glad to hear that others are benefiting.
At the factory, this was probably a piece of cake with the dash upside down on a bench. Different story when you are on your back.
And to whoever first came up with the washer glueing. Good idea! It is amazing how fast the speaker magnet will suck parts to it. The brass stand-off is immune but not the washers... unless you are using SS washers.

The small 3.5" front speakers arent going to vibrate enough cause the nuts to rattle loose, as long as you tighten them good. I never had any speakers I installed in a car come loose from that myself.....of course I dont run 35" car vibrator speakers with 30000w amps...hehe.
