DIY 6.5 Install time

I try searching, but got nothing, my question is. How long should it take me to Install some 6.5s? should it be a saturday afternoon thing? Also, anyone want to give me a brief DIY, I've installed my Deck, and Amp. So I sort of have an idea of what I'm doing, and should be able to handle it, but still pointers could be helpful.

Yeah, it takes me like 5 minutes to take apart, and put the door back together, drilling and mounting can take 1/2 hour depending on the speakers.

How difficult is it to pop those clips off the door panel? The last car I tried this on was an '86 Nissan Sentra, and broke 2 clips (but I did not have a panel tool at the time, just used a screwdriver). [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

To make sure you do it all right without damging anything..take your time.. I'd say a 2 hour job for both doors playing it safe.. Also.. Splurge and buy the Dynamat Extreme door speaker kits.. they'll make a world of difference with midbass...(unless you plan on sound deadening the whole car..then get something like RAAM mat

Cheers
