Hey guys, I'm currently changing out my front speakers for some polk 6 1/2"s. You guys think I should write up a DIY of it for those who might be a little unsure or haven't done this before? (Our trucks require you to make some brackets due to the factory speaker design) Anyways after I eat supper I'll bring a camera out with me and take some pictures, if you guys think it's worth it I'll write up a DIY later and maybe another one for the rears when I get around for it.

 

you dont need special brakets for the frt. they make them i got my braket from long radio in ct. dont listen to who ever said make them. the truck speakers are a true 6.5 but the housing is a little bigger in size. i changed out mine long ago and went through the same crap untill i found the correct brakets. best buy should carry them now or even tweeter. i dont know what you have for stereo stores out your way but they do make frt brakets.

 

I would be interested in seeing how you did it. I myself am looking into getting new speakers.

 

Thanks but I already paid too much for the wiring plugs (so I can easily put the factory's back in later if I need to) and making brackets to fit isn't that hard so I figure why spend the money Ah well, time to go back out and finish the job, then later this week I'll have to go pick up a socket that fits the bolt on the rear seatbelts (stupid star-drive [:@])

 

Eric, I can edit your tint thread if you need me too...

 

Well they're in, got a bunch of pics but I'm too tired and lazy to upload them and do something now so I'll put it together tomorrow. Gotta say if you have a chance to pick up some Polk db650's cheap definitely do it, they sound amazing.

 

Ah sweet, thanks for the advice. I think we have one of those too so I'll have to give it a try. As far as the RMS that's good to know but I'm not worried, these aren't going to see an amp. I'm not upgrading the factory head unit till next summer so they're just running off that, if I want more when I upgrade I'll throw in some MOMO's or maybe shop around and get something else. I love how they sound just running off the factory head though, real crisp and clear.
