Right, there is a 2 pin connector for the speaker. You need to cut the wire where the connector is, then solder or crimp the new wire there for the speaker.

Unless you have an 8 inch speaker, you WILL need a spacer.

the "plastic holder" we have for our car fit's 8inch speakers...the speaker u got is a 6.5 inch if i remember reading correctly...so u have 1.5 inch gap..hence where the spacer comes into play...it fills that gap...it's like a 1.5 inch "large washer" u'd use w/ nuts and bolts....

wut best buy is doin is being gay and overcharging $80 you for most likely a piece of plastic that they probably have to trace and cut out and drill few holes...

what i would do is complain...hopfully u didn't pay them 80 more..and say to quoted me 70 i'm not paying n e more..if u dun want to finish the job then put the speaker and panel back in and return my money...if that doesn't work..consider urself...
