Hey guys, could anyone give me a tute or, tell me how to install 6-1/2" speakers in the Front doors my AE92 Corolla sedan? i have some spacers for them, but i dont know how to put them in, where to cut holes etc, as there is no avalible flat space, just that little plastic pocket thing on the side, any help would be much appreciated.

well i put 6*9s inthe front doors of my ke70...so im guessing the door inserts are rather different...and all did was cut the pocket off and put the spacers in their place coz they basically were the same size...in your case i cant help u too much unles u have a pic of the door,then i may be able to help where to put them

I fitted 6.5's into my sr5 but they were under the dash not in the door.

it is a ae92.sorry i forgot to say it is a 1990..........i have 4 inch alpines.....i want to replace with my 5.25 JBL's......

you would probably need a spacer, as the corolla's doors are fairly thin. I allready have spacers, & i want 2 put pioneer 6-1/2" in there, but i dont know where they should go, i think ill go take a picture like love suggested

[Drive_a_toy]

is the door the only space?>..........i would like to put them in the dash if i could?..........


what about the instrument cluster?

[gizmo_joe]

yeah i think u can do 4" in the dash i dunno about 5.25 tho, search the forums & see if you can come up with anything

about replacing the dash bulbs

It might sound stupid but i was only able to screw in 2 screws into the stock sockets, the other side because they were 6.5's i had to cut a hole in the glove box and into the stearing column and wedged them into there. Ill grab some pics tomorrow when its bright out to help you out a bit.

As fo teh instrument panel starts with i believe 8 screws needed to be taken out ill check that tomorrow though. You NEED a phillips screwdriver on a rachet. Its extremley hard to take out the 3 screws on the RIGHT hand side with a regular driver. Then off comes the plastic cover and the vents. Then you must pull out the cluster its self. Now with all of these be very gental but its gonna take a good amount of force to but it in/out. Pull teh cluster right out and i think its 4 bulbs that you have to change, they jsut twist in and out. Just take your time dont break anything... cause the rule of hand with these cars is if it does make the car move then its fucking expensive.

Good luck
