I've ruined 4 rear speakers ftw.
Also its a LOT harder to install rear speakers into the camry, then front speakers. I'll assume your gen 3 is like my gen 3.5, when you remove the front speakers, they will already be ne a mounting plastic thing. For the rears, you would need to create your own mounting adapters out of my MDF.

Ugh, I hate having to argue about this kind of stuff. I've installed several systems, in various cars, and I'm by no means a professional, but I know what I'm talking about. I never said that 6x9's could replace a sub. What I'm saying is that if there is no sub, a set of 6x9's will fill in the bass frequencies that the front door speakers can't produce. They will give a fuller sound. A sub will not make the rear speakers blow, and the deck rattle if the air is allowed to move past the deck, and there is some kind of vibration dampening material in place. i.e. dynamat.
A sub will not blow the rear speakers unless all of the holes in the rear deck are seal off so as to not let any air pass through. Preventing all the air from passing through is a bad thing. A sub is supposed to move air. That's what it was designed to do. If you blow rear speakers with a sub, something wasn't setup right.
It's not hard at all to install a set of 6x9's in the rear deck. With the ebay adpaters, I installed my 6x9's in 45 mins. That's 45mins from the time I decided to start the installation, to the point I tightened the last bolt, and cranked up the volume. By the way, I didn't have any rattling in the rear deck. When it's done right, there will not be any problems.
MDF adapters require wood working skills, access to wood working tools, and the materials to make them. If you don't have any of that, you'll have to go to a stereo shop, and have them custom made, and installed, for 3 or 4 times what the ebay adapters will cost you. The ebay adapters will do exactly the same job, and perform just as well as the MDF ones for WAY less money.
