Best buy wants to do it...but Im scared they are going to mess up my car...I wish there was a F-Body specialist around here...god this sucks!

Ok u can do an install yourself u deff are capable if u want to get ur hands a bit dirty. far rear speakers u ditch totally no point they will just dick with your soundstage. Get a new radio, 6.5s in front, 6.5s in the rear seat are. then subs in the hatch. if this is something u are aimin towards let me know and i can help point u to stuff. you can fly me out to u lol

ok feel out the installers some stores are way freakin better then others atleast at circuit city tahts how it was. and the amp can be bypassed instead of running new wire. honestly i could walk you through doin this install its not that bad atleast for a radio and new speakers save u alot of money plus u wouldnt pay retail

I just plan on doing the front two speakers...They told me it would need to be rewired...Im not doing the rears, I was just saying how much of a joke it was having 4" rear speakers that actually look like 6x9's...

well they lasted for about 6 years and started to crap out about the end of last year in 06...so im sure the replacements will fix the problem.

well they sounded good to me before they started to go bad, so I like it loud just not obnoxious...I guess I will add some subs mabea 10 in the back in the future, yea I was looking for replacements...over all I herd factory is the best choice since the Monsoon AMP is meant to be set up with those speakers, Ive herd of people replacing them and not getting the best sound quality because of the set up.

thats why you get a new amp, and probably why bb was saying you need new wiring.

anything will sound better than that... ask matt. (cocktard)
