[QUOTE="keep_hope_alive, post: 7919651, member: 576029"] you can run components but then you need to locate external crossover, run dedicated wiring, etc. totally worth it, you don't want 6 tweeters in a car. you could replace the dash speakers with tweeters only, and front door woofers for a front component set. but you will have more work in doing this and some fabrication to build an adapter to fit tweeters in the dash locations. not a big deal if you have a jig saw. buying from Crutchfield is a good bet for you. they will provide instructions, mounting adapters, speaker wire adapters, etc. Boston Acoustics has better coax, IMO. if you can find them still. Or Infinity Reference or Eclipse SP series (if you can find them). What do you have for depth of each? that is a big concern for any speaker swap - especially with the front doors. you have 6x9 sizes but aftermarket 6x9 will not likely fit without mounting adapters to increase mounting depth.
