concerning the speakers
id get 2 sets of the speaker brackets...and id strongly consider the baffles as well. ull need some self taping screws to secure everything...the front speakers use rivets to hold the original speakers in place...and the rears use screws...youll have to drill out the front rivets. my personal choice was a unibit...
anyways...to get to the rear speakers...first start by flipping up the rear seat bottom...and squeezing together the mounting medal prongs and remove....then fold down the rear seat...first grab along the rear of the panel wear the back of the seat meets against side of the car when the seat back is up...
anyways....grab along that and pull out....you should feel a few plastic pop-its release....
then get a pick tool...or a small screwdriver if necessary...and go along the door frame...starting at teh bottom of the panel where it meets with the rubber seal of the door and the panel that runs the length of the bottom of the door...pull that part up...then slide the pick tool up the side of the door and pull the edge of the panel out of the rubber seal....its pretty tight.
once you get it out of the rubber seal pull on the panel gently and youll feel at least one more pop-it release below the speaker toward teh front of the car....then simply sit in the car facing the panel...put your palms on the bottom edge of the top part of the panel...usually they panel is painted....and push up...the panel should release...take note how the panel is seated in position before removing...esp along the window...so you know how it looks when you put the panel back....long story short...it can be a pain to get the top of the panel back in place...but once you get that...the rest is easy.
anyways....just so you know...if you have the original speakers in right now....i pretty much guarantee(if they are still working) that they sound better (in bass response) then any after market speaker...even if you amp them....i had to dynamat the entire panel of the rear speakers under the trim panel to get any decent mid-bass response...but im thinking the best way to get any full range sound will be with a speaker baffle....so just be warned...if you run into this task and do the work....it may not be an improvement in bass response...although it is most likely that the highs will be improved...also i strongly suggest using component speakers up front...u most likely have a tweeter in the front sail panels above the dash...unless you have the monsoon system...which youd have more than that.....anyways...
consider what your doing....cause you maybe unhappy with the result...depending on what your trying to achieve. so good luck...just be patient with the install...and strongly consider amping and using speaker baffles....good luck
let me know if i can help anymore.

ok, so im going to go an pic up some speaker brackets tonight or tomorrow, you said the neon ones would work right? i think you even gave me the model number which makes it even easier
i have self tappers and we bought some speakers this past weekend, they are going on a 4 channel amp which we are going to be wiring this weekend as well. I'm looking forward to the project, its going to be a long day i'm sure. thank you so much for the helpful info.
