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.

i posted this in another thread but here you go. dont know your budget, if your looking for a good system, alpine had the award at CES 2005 for the best sounding car system for under a grand. cda-9847 head unit (id go with the 9851 because the dot matrix screen looks so much nicer), sps 171a components for front, sps 170a coaxials for back, mrp 350 amp, sws 1022d sub, and the kca 420i ipod adapter. i have the 170a (which are 6.5's by the way and i got them for 89 US$ per pair) all around with 9851 (which was 280$) and it sounds nice. its all very easy to install yourself, and if you need any help just pm me. dont pay for installation, cartoys wanted to charge me 75 for the front and 50 for the rear! alpine rocks smile.gif

heres some pics of what they look like

I think Bigfoot is blurry, that's the problem. It's not the photographer's fault. Bigfoot is blurry. And that's extra scary to me, because there's a large, out-of-focus monster roaming the countryside.
