Edit: Forgot to say, my car is a 2006

My mom got me a pair of German Engineered speakers (no idea what the name is, will update later.... maybe), and they are 6x9, which I don't think will fit in the doors, so I was going to put them in the back.

I was taking a peak at: This post about getting to the rear speakers

And I was wondering if all that works is necessary to get to those speakers. How long does it take to replace those rear speakers? Is there a faster way?

I am at school today til about 7, should get home around 745ish, and I kinda wanted to do them tonight, (which I just realized I can't because the speakers are at my mom's house), but I was hoping I could get it done in one night.

Granted, I woulnd't mind leaving the seats out for a day or two that I have to drive to school, but would prefer not to.

I also plan on putting in subwoofers later. I have 2 12" subwoofers sitting in my mom's garage (again, no idea on what brand, no emblem on the front of the subs and they are in a box which won't fit in my car, so I gotta pull them out and get a new box). I am looking for a good recommendation as far as enclosures and also a recommendation for amps.

I was looking a while ago and saw a Zenclosure (I believe) that had a acrylic window thing that went over the weird gap area in the 8's trunk, so that you could see the amp. Thought that was cool.

As far as amps, I am looking for a good amp at a bargain price, maybe a used one or something like that. No preference on brand, but would prefer a name brand and not some crappy brand that advertises the peak power instead of RMS.

Ok, I just typed a lot.
Thanks in advance for the recommendations

its a pretty easy procedure , man i got hertz 6X9 in the back sound like im at a concert all the time lol ,

but for the subs man dont mess around with the amp dont get a cheap one the amp is an important componant for subs , but for the box if your just starting i go with that custom rx8 box that they have on the net , i had it for a while with old school crunch subs it sounds nice but its a pretty cheap box but it does fit nice and snug in the trunk best thing to do , would be to buld the box in your trunk,,


i have right not a rockford fosgate p3 with a custom box i made it myself in the trunk its a pain but it sounds insane and you get to take pride of your work , its worht the time and hassel , concidering you will never fit a box in there concidering the 13" gap for the trunk opening minus the plastic piece ,

if your gonna do something man do it right the first time

i spent i think over 3-4 gs half assing it and now i got a nice set up im to lazy to post pics but i can give you some tips if you need some man

lol sry for the big post

This thread should be in the proper section, not in DIY.

My bad about wrong area. I haven't been on the forums in a while and it got all changed around. Any mods, feel free to move it to wherever it needs to be.

So I was looking at my speakers last night, and the brand is MB Quart, not sure of the model number, but I think it is FTA 169. On MB. They look sweet, but my question is, will a 3-way coaxial speaker work in the back?

My speakers don't have tweeters with them or anything (or I haven't found them in the box yet), so I guess I don't have to replace the tweeters in the back, but that 3-way coaxial is giving me concern.

Maybe the tweeter is built into the speakers?

Btw, I looked up the speakers on their website and it says 2-way coaxial, but my box says 3-way.

Also 1 more question. Do I need any speaker wire or anything, or is there enough already in the car?

Well I just replaced my rear speakers with the MB Quart FTA 169 3-way. Haven't really taken a chance to listen to them cause I wanted to just put everything back together since its been dark for a few hours.

Also I had to take the connector off the old speakers and solder them on to my new ones, and the first time I did it, I accidentally soldered it on backwards and had to redo it ... lol.

Other than that, it was pretty easy. I like to do things myself. My mom bought me the speakers and they included free installation, but where is the fun in that? I don't want anyone taking apart my baby's insides.

All in all, good and fairly easy experience.
