Love the tutorial, I'm preparing to do the same thing soon to my Mazda. Though, I'm interested in knowing if a 6x8 speaker fits in the back as well as the front, because as far as I've seen, you can fit them in the front. Would be great help to know for sure from someone who has experience in it.

I think it's mainly for the front, but it does help using the old ones as a bracket, because it helps with the air gap between the speaker and speaker grill that's created otherwise

Best Buy says I need to use bass blocker for the front speakers, you think it is necessary? i have the non-Bose system. I noticed the sound is lower than the rear is that suppose to be the case? I thinking maybe that is why the sound is lower in the front. Are the rear stock the same as the front? thank you for the video!!!

@SMCinSP4 жыл бұрын
An easy way to trim the lip off (vs. belt sander, which I didn't have): Before cutting the center out, scrape it on a sidewalk or concrete driveway or curb. It will quickly and easily take that lip off. Then cut the center part out with the jig saw. Also, I used 1.5" #10 screws. Worked like a champ!

The less tools you use the better, most cars I can pull that stuff off with my bare hands, but I've got 35+ years exp. Never work on a cold car out in the winter if the outside temperature is below 25 the plastic becomes really brittle and any pressure will cause it to break. You want at least 60dgr F. Or above. Over 90 it can start to be too soft and you can stretch it out of shape or the factory glues are soften too much. A lot of GMs had the door skins glued on outside the car, almost all the saturns were made this way. As well as the ta Firebirds and cameros of that era.

Thanks for this video! Put an end to my frustration in trying to find harnesses and speaker wire schematics that didn't seem to match my car. Hadn't thought of this trick which basically gives me a spacer and wire harness in one. I took the screw I removed from the stock speaker bracket to home depot, and the guy at home depot picked out a #6 screw as a match, and gave me a 1 1/2 length. Hopefully that works out ok. Any reason you went with a #10?
