Just replaced factory speakers with Infinity Reference ones. What a difference! IR are bulkier than Alpines, but it wasn't a problem connecting & installing them at all.

How much work is it to install subwoofer, door & rear speakers (right now I don't have any of them)? Can it be done without buying an amp?

Reviving an old thread , recently noticed a crackling noise from the passenger side dash speaker . Read this post and others to make sure I understood how to mount the aftermarket speakers . I ended up buying Cerwin Vega H740's . Online reviews were good and price delivered to my door was very reasonable . Installation went exactly as described by others in this posting . I ended up using clear silicone to mount the speakers to the OEM holders . Let them dry overnight then I bent the 4 ears over the OEM mounts .

Wiring was a snap and the speakers sound very good . I'm not an audio expert so my ear is far from being trained But to my ears these sound good . To be honest I much rather listen to the engine revving than the radio but in traffic the radio is a nice companion . These are the speakers I purchased .
