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.

Hey, I guess i'm not too clear on what you are referring to as a harness, me being dumb and I couldn't access the link.

The stock door mounts are for 8" speakers, i've seen a number of posts where people have talked about fitting an 8" sub in here so I guess there would be no reason why you wouldn't be able to fit an 8" 2/3 way speaker but one of the more experience guys would be able to give you some advice there.

My 6.5" worked fine and sits perfectly behind the stock door grilles:



Though I do need to properly mount that crossover unit.
