Default dont get ticked...
but I have yet another question. I have read that my speakers are 5/7 6/8. What does that mean. I would of thought they would be 5/7 or 6/8. What is the deal with that?
Thanks again guys,
Randy

5x7 and 6x8 speakers are pretty much interchangeable mounting wise

yup, they both fit just as easily..i suggest maki 6.5 components fit tho, best sound you can get...making brackets for them is very easy

take your stock speaker, trace around the outside of it, cut it with a jigsaw, take your new 6.5's, get the mounting diameter and cut out, paint black (or color of choice) and your good to go

And that will go with factory wiring or would you have to splice your way in? Not much of a sound guy

components come with 2 speakers and 1 crossover, the stock wire goes into the crossover, you may need to extend the wire a bit though
