LB 5.25" speaker conversion
Hello,
im interested in converting my rear 5.25 speakers to 6x9. has this been perform by anyone yet? im curious if its possible without much work. if so, any tips? thanks in advance. im limited in tools, so i was thinking buying 6x9 mounting bracket. instead of making them myself. and maybe cut the opening bigger to be able to put the 6x9 speakers in. |

I think you would be the first one to pull it off. Do you already have a set of 6x9's? If not, I think that 6.5's would be better since you have limited tools. That and the opening in the interior panels isn't even as large as the stock speaker.

If you haven't bought the 6x9's go with 6.5's. It'll make your life a whole lot easier.

Bigger rounds doable in the back
I've recently put in Pioneer TS-G1644RR (6.25 in.) all the way around (4 of them). I took pics, and hopefully will post them soon. I reused the rear plastic mounts with some minor mods. Requires soldering and gluing, so if you plan this path and don't already have them, pick up a pen-type soldering kit from Radio Shack (25-30 Watt), and a tube of Shoe Goo from Walmart (carded/pegged with the laces and/or polish in the shoe section).
