Yeah man, search.. he posted the DIY on how to do it yourself.. It's not too difficult, otherwise take it in.. It shouldn't cost more than $60 to have a shop put them in for you.. I believe our shop charges $69.99 per hour for rear speakers but our shop's prices are expensive on labor.. good luck

Better to do it yourself. If the shop is lazy and doesn't put all the plastic connecters back in the rear deck correctly you are going to have some bad rattles.

I was hesitant about replacing mine myself but no problems.

if you are experienced/confident with taking your car apart then go for it! Rears are a bitch though, you basically hav eto take out everything behind the front seats to get that rear deck out!

^^ yea the rear is extremely painful to take out, I don't know why they didn't just make holes for the damn speakers so you wouldn't have to take every single panel out to reach it...but took me bout 5 hours to install everything in the back.

You should do it yourlsef. It's a good experience. I wanted to take it to a shop so I didn't have to mess with it, but I tookput it in my own hands with the DIY on the site and it was pretty easy. You learn alot about your car. At least how simple our car is contructed.

Good Luck

There's a shortcut to getting the rear speakers out. Don't go ripping your interior apart. You're gonna go through all that trouble only to find out that the magnets on the 6 x 9's you just bought hit the trunk spring right underneath the speaker. If you want to know what to do Pm me I don't feel like posting a step by step.

Anyway I tried to install some Rockford 6 x 9's the first way and spent like 2 hours f'ing with it. Then I realized the new way only took like 20-30 min.
