I really want to self-install new speakers
...but don't know how.
Being an electrical engineer, this is somewhat embarrasing.
Does anyone in the Dallas (Plano, McKinney = ideal) area know how who would be willing to show me? I'd love to learn.
Thanks!

There's a pretty involved DIY for the rears (I'm going to start with just the fronts, I think)...but still, I'd be more comfortable if I had someone looking over my shoulder saying "NO!!!! NOT THAT WAY! That's reverse biased!" or "No, no - GROUND the circuit first. THINK, buddy, THINK!" etc.

Here ya go...

Plan on 4 to 6 hours if you're a noob at tearing apart the interior.
It's not difficult, only time consuming.
I did mine and also installed an indicator light to warn me that the trunk was open.

Thanks, but I don't even know how to get the door panel OFF. Those pics also don't show wiring very well. And I'm looking to replace the fronts first - those look easier. I've also got the stock system.
C'mon Dallas folk, help a Texan out!

Again, I don't know how to get the door panel OFF. Or which is the + wire and which is the - (I'm pretty sure the colors aren't standard).
