I would be honoured if you did.. they are cold cathode neon tubes, i'm sure you already know that, and i joined them all and connected to a cigar socket..

How to you wire the speakers up? I am going to buy new door speakers today and have no clue. I installed my own amp and sub and that was pretty easy, do the door speakers just involve a pos / neg wires.

I believe the stock speakers have OEM connectors, but all you need to know is which is positive and negative, and splice on new connectors.

Brendy do you have the model number on those 6x9s? I will def be replacing my speakers, but I really wanna find out the mounting depth limits on what I can fit.

Anyone else too that can post model numbers for what you used front and rear would be a great help!

I currently have CDT speakers. I am soon upgrading to either Morel or Autophile Point Source. http://www.theautophile.com/products/PS16.html or http://morelhifi.com/products/mob_3way_elate.html which ever i use will be ran active without the passive crossovers.

Personally I feel upgrading rear speakers is a waste of money. Spend that money you would spend on the rears to get better fronts.

However before buying new speakers listen to everything within your budget and buy what sounds best to your ear.

Kicker is a good company. I personally do not like the sound of them though. I would suggest listening to them at a local store if possible. For about 5 bucks more I can get you a set of CDT 6x9's shipped. They are brand new in the box from a fully authorized CDT dealer. If you are interested PM me for more info.

Well the only places i know of that is near me is best buy, and i seen on most of their website that it all doesn't fit my car. They have a small selection. Thats why i looked on ebay and all.

I found wiring adapters at Crutchfield that allowed me to use the factory connectors. No cutting or soldering of wires. I just disconnected the factory quick connect, attached the wiring adapter which snapped into the factory harness connector, and attached the positive and negative to the speakers. Made the install very smooth.
