Upgrading rear speakers

[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]oes anyone know what the factory rear 6x9 speakers are? how good they are? I know they're pioneers..but I can't find the model # on the net....so therefore can't compare with others..
I recently got myself a pair of Rockford FRC3269..cus they seems to give some solid mid-bass...but they were fairly cheap..about $115 Canadian...and higher price usually comes with better quality...my question is...are the Pioneer speakers on stock 2002 coupe better or worse than the Rockford I got....Install the rear speaker is a pain..I tried to do it with some DIY I found here but the instruction were too simple I just can't do it...I'm gonna pay someone to do it for me so I only wish to do it once.....it's funny that guys at Vision(electronic store) said it's "garanteed" that installing the rear speakers will break off 2 hooks or clips under the rear deck....and the rear deck will "rattle" like a **** for sure after that...well...I don't want my rear deck to rattle like a ****. there must be a way to install the speakers without breaking anything...right?

To answer your 1st question YES the fosgate 6x9's will sound better than the stock
even though the stocks are pioneer they are not very good
if done right you can take off the rear deck WITH OUT breaking anything at least i did

but it should sound good let us know how u like it

The stock Pioneers are OEM versions, so cheap they don't sell them at any store.

i'm going to the insurance corp now...they'll probably pay me nothing since nothing was bolted on to the metal....oh ****...but hey...the OEM pioneer speakers give pretty good bass with my new kenwood 7019....very significant change from my factory deck.....I hope the rockford will be even better

Check your home-owners insurance, if you're not renting. Sometimes they will cover stuff stolen that your car insurance doesn't.

cover the whole back deck with something soft before you put it back together, you will thank yourself 1000 times. i used that rubbermaid stuff that you put on shelfs to keep stuff from sliding or breaking (also for carpet and cushions to prevent sliding). it's kinda rubbery, but not adhesive, and comes in many colors. 2 rolls @ 3 for $5 ended a lot of rattling from low to middle bass notes.

maybe see if someone on this forum from your area can help you w/ the speakers. once you know how, the deck takes maybe 10 minutes to pop.
