Ok I went and picked up some 6 1/2" speakers for my celica and came home only to find out about the front being 6 3/4" and the backs 5 1/2"?

What do people actually put in for speakers? size? power? brand?

I bought a decent deck and was just looking for some cheap speakers that sound good to go in with the deck.

After looking at the back speakers is there anyway to actually fit an aftermarket speaker in there they seem to mold to the plastic mounting piece. Could I buy a 5 1/2" and put that in their? Will it require any modification?

I read through the front 6 3/4" inch front speaker install and was wondering is that what everyone is doing? Is it that hard? What about the back?

I bought some Performance Teknique speakers for 150 CAD but they are all 6 1/2"
but heard they arent that great. I am going to bring them back and probably get some panasonic speakers to go with the panasonic deck.

Please help me out I dont want to buy crappy stereo stuff and I would prefer something I can put in myself.

Obviously you have to do what's best for you and your budget but I would like to make a suggestion on your stereo set-up.
After having spent some time configuring a set-up for my celi, I now have a system that has EXCELLENT sound quality and is very loud.
Here's my set-up:

Alpine 9815 head unit
Alpine 6 disc changer
Boston Acoustics Pro 5.4 components in front
factory rear speakers(faded heavily to the front)
Bazooka 8" passive bass tube
Alpine MRV-F345 4 channel amp

Now, you don't have to buy exactly the same stuff I have but I would STRONGLY recommend this TYPE of set-up - good comps up front, a sub and a 4 ch amp.

When you think about it, this really isn't a complicated system, yet it yields GREAT sound. Good luck to you and, if you have any questions, just ask.
