I replaced mine last weekend with a set of Audiobahn plates I had lying around. I used the 1/4" drive ratchet with the 1/4" socket and a torx bit. Be sure to hold a finger on the bit when using it so it doesn't fall under the carpeted rear deck. It helps to let the seat you aren't sitting in down so you can reach under the speaker. After the screws were out I twisted the speaker around so it would drop through the rear deck. I was scared of scratching my tint. Then I went through the trunk and pulled the plugs off. I also flipped the plastic clips over so my new speakers mount from underneath. I used the small blue clamshell splices for wiring. Works great so far, but I need to recheck the screws to see if they are working their way out since I flipped them.

I have had great service in the past from Crutchfield, but I already had speakers and the price for adapters is high if you don't buy the speakers.

The plates made a world of difference in the highs in the rear. I was surprised at how cheap the rears were compared to the pictures of the other speakers in the car. I am now debating on the door subs and bridging the amps. I have been looking in the forums for weeks for the instructions and have yet to find them. I find a lot of mentions about bridging, but no instructions. Same with speaker choices. Kicker fits right in, but several others are mentioned but not by name.

No one mentions replacing the subs in the trunk either.

That information is what i have been looking for. Been looking for weeks. How do you bridge the amp for the door subs? :headscratch:

Also, what speakers fit the doors? The 8" Kicker and what else? I have read that a lot of people are running the Pioneer with a small modification to the ABS plastic box in the door. I was going to replace the door subs and bridge the amp at the same time.

I am debating on the MB Quart 5" separates I have lying around or another set of the Audiobahns.

Thanks for the info. I was starting to lose my mind.:gringreen
