Bought new speakers yesterday, installing them tommorow

Fit where? I just bought some Pioneer TS-A1767's and they did not fit out of the box, in the front or the rear. I ended up cutting a lot of plastic out from the rear speaker brackets and finally got them to sit in there ok. I could possibly have fitted them in the front, but you will need to either drill extra holes in the factory bracket or whip up some McGuyver **** to get them mounted on the front. I had to cut some spacers from another set of brackects and screw them onto the GM brackets in order to make my Kenwood 6 3/4"s fit in the front.

You can see pics of what I did here.

I got all 6 1/2's and mine didn't need any modification at all.

Most Celica's have 8" front speakers. for my '94 St I had to have adapter made to fit the 6.75" speakers to the 8" opening. If you live in the anywhere but North America you can get 8" coaxial speakers by Pioneer.

My 96 celica comes with 7" speakers and i just kept the bracket and punched out the speaker from the ring n kept the ring on the plastice bracket...drill new holes in it aligned it with the new speaker and made it fit. I had some Kicker's 6.75"
