There are so many clips, that will be hard to find locally except u pull it. When i have run into that, i just use a nut and bolt with washers, rubber washers on each side for a speaker, locktite the nut. ( 4 rubber washers one on each washer and the mounting frame for vibration)
Your best bet is to just pick up some of these J clips or equivalent. I haven't seen those type you have anywhere.
I did some searches and could not find that one. But this company has clips, problem is they have 122 pages of clips, i tried different search names, no luck.

Yeah, I’m used to the folded over type. I think HD has them. Maybe that’s a good shot for the two in each door that I need.
I do like the rubber washer idea.
I do like the rubber washer idea.
It's called a Tinnerman expansion nut. It is used when the back-of-panel is not accessible and when you don't want the screw to come loose or rattle. I have not seen any that look exactly like the one you show, so it is likely a dealer-only fastener.

Well, I used the regular flat type, and in reality, I like them better. Each door had two of the kind I showed in OP, two of the other flat kind. The flat kind I can definitely get more torque on.
All done.

That’s a lot of clips! I needed four total. HD had them for about 57c each. Not the same design, just the folded ones, but they actually clamp tighter.
Are those Pioneer speakers?

Yes. TS-A6960F. I like them for $50 or so.
PO had fit some Sony 5x7 (depth is an issue here), no vapor barrier. Sound is much improved. I’m pleased.
I bought some Pioneer 5X7 Coaxial (4 total) for my sons F150 at Christmas. He has a big screen Kenwood that rocks those new Pioneers. I buy all of my car stereo equipment from Crutchfield.
I have 5X7 Kickers (4 total) in my doors with an Alpine head unit. I have a Kicker 10" sub box behind the seats with an Alpine mono amp (300 watts) pushing that. My truck is a regular cab.
When I get out of my truck it takes a few seconds for me to hear anything.

Yeah I won’t be doing that. I value my hearing too much...
For future reference...

They have the best automotive fastener catalog I have seen. They are a wholesaler, so you can't just order five clips off their website, you'd need to order through someone who has an account, but the catalog is a great resource to get the information you need, including OE part numbers.

I do too, and I still have great hearing. I think I over exaggerated about my hearing when I get out of my truck. I mean, I do like my metal loud but not as loud as I listened to it when I was younger.
BTW, have you ever been near/heard an M1 Abrams tank when it fires? Been there. done that, A LOT!
