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.

I'm not talking about the harness for the head unit, I'm talking about the harness for the speakers. The head unit installed just fine.

What I meant was that the only option was to order the speakers to fit in the rear, since there was no other option, hence, for that speaker they don't make a harness that fits the front, so I couldn't make the connection between the speaker and the existing wires in the door. Like I said, I could've spliced the wires and connected them that way, but I would've also had fitment issues.

The speakers wer 6 1/2", not 8 1/2." I guess I needed 6 3/4."
