Speaker/deck installation. Options

[RickJamesBish]

I know there's been several threads about this, as well as stickies, but I would just like some opinions on this. My birthday is coming up and in light of that, I'm buying myself/asking for money towards a deck and probably speaker replacements for the front.

I've found some at Best Buy (http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?sk...d=1199494647257) (http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?sk...d=1198888991061).

So from the reading I've done, 6.5" speakers fit in the front? And also, are these hard to install for a guy that isn't all that handy? I could spend the money to get it installed, but I wouldn't want somebody scratching/messing up the interior in any way. I could do it myself potentially, but likewise I don't want to mess anything up, either the install or my car itself.

Also, only the left front is blown and the other three are fine. If I do replace the fronts, it wouldn't necessarily matter that the back ones aren't as good right?

So what's the best route to go? Thanks for the input guys.

Save all that money and do a manual swap on your car.

x2 automatics suck

I have to agree with this
I would definitely save up and get better equipment.
I would also rather do a manual swap cuz the auto tranny sucks manual is so much better . You could just buy my car then you would get the best of both worlds. Type R speakers and a manual tranny.

Of course I'd rather have a stick, but IDK how long I'm keeping this car, maybe only for another 9 months since there might be a replacement at graduation.

Also, I don't have a budget for top-of-the-line equipment, and especially not your car. Although it does look sick, and sort of what I'd want to have...

But honestly, what I'd be getting would be better than a stock blown speaker, but if there's a better bang for the buck out there for not much more money, could someone refer me?
