6 1/2 door installation

[Dark]

Has anyone installed 6.5 (not .5s) into the doors? how much modification does it take? Im gonna put my sony xplod 6.5 in the doors and i really dont want to go out and buy new ones ya know.
how does one take apart the doors (im sure i could figure it out but i dont want to screw anything up, heh )

Plenty of us here have upgrade speakers...i don't know what car you drive but for the 92-96, it shouldn't be too bad. Generally, I believe they all use 6.5 speakers, except for the DX models...which use 5.25" but don't quote me on that. Also, Toyota uses these weird sizes so the holes may not line up...I bought some Cervin Vegas 6.5" made for European cars and the holes lined up just fine.

Taking off the door isn't too bad. Just remove the screws with the caps near the front, one in the handle, one inside the light, and two plastic ones on the back. There's some more but can't remember where, but it'll be obvious. Then you also have to take off that dreaded door handle bezel...you need to get a long skinny screwdriver to kinda unhook it at the bottom and top. Then you can either just yank off the door becaseu it's held on by clips or lift it up to unslide it from the clips...your choice.

Good luck.

I recently installed some MB Quart 6.5 Coaxil's in the side doors of my 96 camry. Door was a "slight" bi*ch to take off, but not too bad. The hardest part is getting the door off around the bandle and assembling it back together. Everything else was just screwin'. Oh by the way, they sound nasty !

Any of you tried replacing the rear speakers in a 3rd generation? I just got thru trying to get the back wood panel off and I gave up after 3 hours of trying, IT WONT COME OFF!!! :smile:

The rear panel is held in by 2 screws in the front and 6 clips where it meets the rear windshield. You have to first take the L brackets behind the rear seat off, unscrew the big bolt. Take the 2 screws at the front off... then unhinge the highmount brake lamp cover and then work the 6 clips loose and pull it out.

Haynes manual will show you how too.
