The rear speaker kit that I installed was the PNP kit from Harvey on eBay. It won't transform the stock stereo to concert hall performance but it does improve the sound quite a bit. Be sure and buy some cheap polyester matting from a fabric store and use it to fill the air chamber behind the speakers to get a little better bass response.

Also, ignore the instructions and don't spend a huge amount of time running the cable down the sill of the passenger door and under the passenger side of the dash to get to the radio. Just run the cable behind the passenger seat and tuck it between the carpet and the engine cover carpet with your fingers. Then do the same and run the cable up the passenger side of the center console and push the cable up under the console and the carpet with your fingers. Then run the cable up the back of the center console. Much, much faster and easier.
