Replacing Factory Speakers

Well, I recently bought and 04 Alero fully loaded with the 3.4L V6. (Pics Soon), I traded in a deathtrap 96 Ford Taurus, And which I ripped out my stereo I had installed, I am currently running my factory cd player in the Alero (because I learned I needed wiring harness, dash mount, and a module to control the CHIME B/S, total over $350), with 2 12" Orion Cobalt subs, on a (don't judge me ) 360W SPL Amp, this little amp actually makes some loud noise. But anyways I was looking for some input on replacing my factory door and read deck speakers with some affordable, clean sounding speakers. In the old Ford I ran front 6 1/2" Rockford's, and Sony Xplod for rear deck 6x9's, Although was not able to retrieve when I traded it. Any input will be helpful for something that can complete my install, Thanks.

honestly i have a 7in. screen, my doors are kickers and my back dash is Power acoustics i have had people ask me if i have subs and i just tell them no i just have my 6x9's and they still don't believe me so i pop the trunk and then they know i wasn't lying about not having subs... i mean i got my rear speakers on a trade for the 6.5's.. you can do just about anything with these cars..

So, my 2000 still has the chimes after I installed the generic wiring harness for the stereo. Are different years wired differently?

Perhaps, I had ABC warehouse and Best Buy tell me I need the Module, or i Take a risk of harming dash controls, I've never had it happen, Only reason I care is because I would never hear the end of it from the woman if it looks ghetto, or messes sht up.

Well, the dash kit doesn't quite fit right, I still need to take care of that. I haven't really cared enough, I'm not out to impress with looks. Maybe someday, but for now, with this car, it gets me from a to b in a fun fashion

i'd get the chime module. if you already have a deck, it shouldnt cost you too much.

when i did my stereo he's about the costs

the chime module was the most expensive at $70
but the wire harness was 20 bucks
and the dash kit is 20 bucks at walmart. and they sometimes have the chime module there. i'm not sure if they are the right ones though.

i'm not sure what your buying for 350

$300 for din, wiring and antenna adapter?



I better raise my prices...

I carry Metra Products.

The fit kit will be about $20, Wiring Harness $60 (w/chimes) $20 without, Antenna adapter is $5.

For front speakers, if you dont want to much modding:

http://americanbassusa.com/front/sho...aspx?fileid=47 $45

http://americanbassusa.com/front/sho...aspx?fileid=45 $85

Plus shipping from Toledo Ohio to you. Or you can pick it up.

Also if you want, I can pre-wire your harness for another $15- but you gotta send it to me. I use Solder and shrink wrap FYI.

I believe it was 03 where GM started using the chime BS, prior the module wasn't needed, but everything after it does.
