get the money for the install return the rears and buy a sub

wow.... it's definitely not easy at all

Edit: okay, the fronts are pretty easy
rears... ehh... seem very difficult
guess that's why you said buy a sub though...

The fronts are worse as you need to run new wire to the door. Going thru that grommet is a pain IMO. Well unless you have a fish tape.

The rear is easy. You already have it apart to run the power wire. So you just toss the speaker wire in with it. Ditto when running new wire to the front speakers from the rear of the car for an amp. So very simple.

I do it the hard way though to make sure its perfect.

Power down one side, speakers up the other. RCAs down the center Ive got 2 runs of Stinger Experts and had an optical run you couldnt even see.

wait hold on, I got my fronts in last night and I didn't have to run any wires. I just hooked em up to the old ones and they worked perfectly
the only issues I has were trying to get them to screw in.

The rear speakers are what I've had trouble getting to
how the hell do you even get to em?
does basically everything behind the rear seats have to come out?

Running new wires isnt hard.

Removing the rear speakers is a bit more involved.

I take it all out. I take the rear seat out and the rear panels. Then lift the rear deck card out.

If you are having troubles or just need it done contact Terry @ Sound Solutions in Florence KY. He will get you hooked up at a very reasonable rate. Tell him I sent ya, might get a better deal too.

I just used my original wires
for me the rear speakers ended up being pretty easy
I just hadta figure out what I was doing
I didn't have to take out the seats or any panels, I just popped out the covers unclipped the speakers and they came right out

I'm assuming there are 6x9s in the back, but what are stock in the front?

[YALEROYNOT]

4x6 In The Fronts

[meadus101]

thanks.

So after ready all this it seems that I should just get rid of my 6x9's in the back because the subs that I have in there are distorting them anyway? That saves me some bucks. Hope that I can get the same level of sound though from just the fronts. I have two 200 watt amps that I'm not using now anyway so I guess I could use one on the drives side and one on the pass side.

[Ryan from Ohio]

Trust me, with some good 5.25 or 6.5's in the front, tweets int he sail with proper amping, you will in no way ever need the rears or miss them.

[YALEROYNOT]

remove the rears to get better sound out of the sub with out putting the seat down. my 6.5 door pods are in the works.

[lonnie]

Some one got the link to the thread about fitting 5.25 or 6.5 in the 4x6 hole in the front? I'd be willing to try this. When I use my DVD player I always fad it to the front anyway, and I kind of like the sound.

[YALEROYNOT]

im going to glass door pods for mine.

here is a thread that might help you

Its not bad. What I did was fairly simple, just used the wrong material

Take some 1/4" plywood. Cut the base. Then cut the baffle. Use dowel Rods cut as needed to create your angle. Hot glue it together. Use speaker grill cloth and fiberglass for the first layer followed by 2 layers of glass. Done.

I got my set here you can have if you want them. Not perfect but works. $10 shipped.

I used like 3-4 sheet metal screws to attach each one. No hacking of the door needed. Easy switch back to stock
