[QUOTE="12VoltInstaller, post: 3282999, member: 564140"] Ok so heres what you got going on. You have 6X9s in the front doors 5 1/4 in the rear. Your gonna save some time and effort if you do the components in the door or use the location on top of the dash for your tweeter locations. The 6x9s are a smaller size than normal...you'll have to cut a bit to make them fit if you stay with 6x9s or a plate set up. Do you have the infinity system? Listen to the door speakers...if there are voices coming out your ok. Not just mid bass and muffled voices....If Infinity you have an amp stuffed inside the passenger side of the dash behind the glove box (***** to get to) and short harness/wires to deal with. Honestly...its almost better to run new wires into the doors for the amount of work it will be...with infinity. I also think you have Molex type plugs in the door boots (could be wrong) much more difficult..... not open pass through rubber boots. The price the dealers shot you is a bit high...but you also have to remember they are there at the drop of a hat...in person to help and guide you and warantee your selections. Thats worth alot if they are good at customer service. If they are worth their salt, they will work with you on price and negotiate the best deal with all parties involved....just explain your reasons and let them work with you...if they dont....no salt. You have to remember, our industry has a stigma of the "gimme a deal" sale so when people come in...the sales guys will shoot high. Gotta have some negotiating skills at a stereo shop. But once you work the deal, they are obligated to give you the best service as well. You get what you pay for and you have to pay for what you don't either know how to do or what to select and how to apply it to your vehicle and listening tastes. For all of you quick to suggest he do it himself....your cutting your fellow installers throats to spite your clean manicured mouse clicking fingernails. The pro's do what they do for a reason... they get paid peanuts for the time and knowledge they have to possess to be able to be that guy at the store day in and day out with all the answers, tools and abilities. Most of the best ones don't have time to get on the forums and post thousands of posts...about NFL football on a car audio forum.......... So...on that note...knowing what you know...trust yourself....dont have your buddy do it in your back yard for 150 bucks....an installer that knows that truck and your system askings.......wouldn't put that in for $150 and drive 5 hours....for 150 bucks. ....ask if you can be part of or watch when they do your job....dont be surprised if they say no...but it never hurts to ask. If you want to try part of it....try the rear speakers first....then maybe the fronts....but remember....is it infinity? lets get more narrowed down...... ask more questions...post more comments Im still here all week.......
