[midnightalero01]

the 6.5's will fit up front with some modification or adapter plate, but i'm not sure if 6.5's will fit the rear.

I've got the same speakers for the rear. They had to do some cutting in order to get em to fit. I remember reading something about this on here but don't know where. I'll try to find it tho..

I had mine fiberglassed in and covered with vinyl for $150 at a local shop

alright so how do i get at the speakers... both front and rear?

For the front you have to take off the door trim. There are two screws on each panel located right below the grab handle (theres alil faceplate over them that you have to pry off with a screwdriver). You then take a screwdriver and pry the panel off (don't worry about loud popping noises.)

For the rear... Its pretty tricky. You have to take alot of trim off. You have to have the rear seats folded down. First you have to take the little plastic buttons off the gray trim thats loacated right behind the back seat (I used two screwdrivers and pryed the buttons up) and then you just slowly work the gray plastic trim off. Then you need to take the C Pillar trim off (just pops off) and then for the rear deck, I was able to get at my speakers w/o taking the whole carpeted part off (it was tight, but it worked.)

And what I did for my 6 1/2" in the rear. I took a saber saw to some partical board and trimed out a piece of wood that would fit into my stock factory bracket. Then I took a compass (A geometry compass :P) and made a 5 1/2" circle in the middle of the board, next I took my saber saw again and cut out the circle. Then I popped my speaker into the board and screwed it together, stuck it in my bracket and put it back into my rear deck.

Hope that helps. Anymore questions, just ask. :)

There's also a screw behind the reflector.

Haha. There is? No wonder the brace behind my reflector (on both sides) is broken. Oh well. :lol: :lol:

i was able to purchase plates from my local custom audio shop. they adapted the rear 6x9's to 6.5's and they have a slot for a tweeter. i have 3 way pioneers in them and they work great. i even used the factory bracket, no screws. it only took slight modification(breaking off a little half inch long tab). shoot me a pm if you have questions.
