[QUOTE="mars2878, post: 26621, member: 12483"] Now on for the new speakers. I chose 6.5" Kicker 46csc654 speakers for the doors. Stock size, so zero mods to the door. Crutchfield retail was $100, on sale for $80. The next level down retailed at $80. Plus they came with free Metra harness adapters. That was a $10 savings in of itself. I also picked up XTC speaker baffles. A: they help direct the sound into the cab with less lose in the doors. B: if your weatherstripping happens to leak water into the door, it helps to protect the speakers from the weather, which in turn helps them last longer. I've been using them for years and put them on everyone's install. Now for the pics, because who doesn't like pics? [ATTACH type="full"]4895[/ATTACH] And yes, I also use the Metra speaker brackets. Like I said, zero mods to the doors. I just cut a small slit into the bottom of the speaker baffle and insert the harness adapter 1-wire at a time through it. When done, the assembly is essentially a small speaker box. [ATTACH type="full"]4896[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]4897[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]4898[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
