As a noob myself, I say go half way. Removal of the door panels (which I haven't done yet) and rear panels (which I have only done the passenger side, as yet, just to see what is involved), seems to be simply a matter of patience. Patience and gentle care is not a virtue of installers. I would suggest removing the panels yourself and seek professional help from there.

I hope to do speakers front and rear soon. I want to get the largest front and rears as possible as I'm not yet ready to do a separate bass box or cut into the spare tire cover, though that install looks great and makes sense. I would like to do a spare woofer if I could retain the spare donut in there. Has anyone accomplished this or has everyone removed the donut?

My donut & mount were removed by PO so I'm not sure of the space remaining in there. My guess would be that there is only 1-2" between the cover & the spare which is much less than you would need for a sub.

BTW, the door panels are much easier to remove than the rear panels. The first time you do it takes 10-15 minutes but after that, you can have it off in 5. Rowhard has a how to with pix.

The door panel removal write-up is great. I want to order some extra clips before I try and I want to be ready to replace the speakers.

The spare is a concave tractor tire turned around. I would think you could get a narrowed-rear, 8" surface mount to fit in there. The trim wouldn't support the speaker, so mounting could be fun for a surface-mount. Definately not in my immediate future.

Soooo, about them speaker sizes? LOL
thanx for the input BTW

[etlsport]

front speakers are 5.5.. 6.5s fit if you cut the back of the trim ring off then sand away the inner edge of except for places for your screws

the rear speakers are 4" 6.5s will fit back there but it takes a lot of cutting/custom work.. theres not much area left on the speaker mount after cutting

before




and with a 6.5" speaker mounted
