New speaker help, any car audio guys out there?

Crutchfield is WAY overpriced. Find what you want from there (research and such), then find that same product on Amazon or Newegg. Save yourself the $$.

I have done a LOT of custom stereo work to my VX so my advice would not exactly help you much, heh. Dremels, heat guns, and solder are probably not among the steps you want to hear. In any case, make it FUN. Dont make a job out of it. The VX is actually a pretty fun and easy car stereo install platform.

Yeah, I have all that. You forgot heat shrink. Are you saying that this is the best way to splice in your speakers? Basically, one of the rear speakers is horribly blown. I want to swap out the tape deck and install a newer head unit and while I am doing it, replace all the speakers. I was planning to keep this VX 100% stock, but I just can't deal with not being able to plug in my iPod any longer. lol
