So my friend had a pair of Alpine two way 6x9's that he gave me for free :thumbup: and since my rear speakers are the only audio parts that I have yet to upgrade I was extremely grateful. Nothing over the top. I beleive they are 250 watt....I tell ya tho. It was a B*TCH taking out the back seat. I was surprised at how dirty it was underneath as well as how much change there was.
*SORRY FOR THE QUALITY* took with cell phone!!

You had trouble getting your back seat out? I can have mine out in 10 mins!

Nice pick up.

Yeah i did. the four bolts on the bottom were a pain in the ass. Two of them were stripped pretty much. Took me a lil while. Putting everything back together was so much easier. lol.

WOW that's a mess under there! Mine was a tad bit dusty and I freaked out LOL. No change though...then again no one's ever back there. Speakers sound good?

You don't really have to remove the rear seats out to change the rear speakers. Just take off the carpet dash thingy, and that gives you enough access. At least thats what I did.

Looks good. I've got a set of Pioneer 3-way 6x9's to put in mine, but haven't gotten around to it.

Yeah it takes a little bit of trickery to get it out without removing the seat, but in most cases, not near as much trickery as getting the whole backseat out.

I just put Cadence ZRS69's in the back. They are for srsly the best sounding 6x9's I've ever heard! Lotsa bass but still great mid and highs.
Cutting holes in the carpet and mounting the speakers was a bitch though

nice speakers.

you should of made them sit above the carpet unless u plan on doing that.most people cover them up with the carpet. i cut a hole in mine and my 2 infinitys sit above it really nice with the cage to protect the speaker. i would show how i have mine set up but dont got a recentt pic.

but nice btw.

Yeah dude that's how mine is. I'll try to go get a pic if it's not too dark

You can't really see it that well, but that's it. It's sitting on the carpet, and bolted down with the cage thing. I couldn't cut all the carpet because there's like a 1/2" layer of rubber, so I had to force sheet metal screw through the carpet to screw then in to their holes. That took a looong ass time!

I just put this in, too; Sony CDX GT630UI. That's a usb memory stick on the right.

Mine weren't hard, sliced out the oval, dropped the speakers in, grabbed some long screws and ran them down to the original holes. Done.

Well like I said, I used scissors to cut the holes while the carpet was already in, and I couldn't really cut the carpet above the holes, so aligning the screws with the holes through the carpet was a fuckin bitch. If any of you guys do it, get a knife to do it and do it right
