It looks like the 6.5's in the rear were a perfect fit. What did you need to do/use for the 4's up front. It looks like there is something behind them. After seeing your install I am ordering that same deck today it goes AWESOME with the rest of the dash. Are you happy with the type and size speakers you went with? Would you change the kind or size if you were to do it again?

Starting this project before the thaw and would appreciate the feedback beforehand.

Looks great!

The 6.5s require no mod, you even use the same screw holes. The 4s require plates to fit correctly. I used some thin board I found in the garage. I did not want an amp or sub in my car, so I would not change anything that I installed. If you are willing to install an amp and sub then I would change everything. In the sub/amp install I would use 6.5 components in front, 10" sub in the cubby behind the passenger seat, one very large amplifier, and the Calrion 745 not 845 for the higher preout voltage.

thanks for the reply. I have looked at the infinity reference and also the Kappas is there any depth issues in the front or back? Do you think that 5.5" rounds would fit the front with a little cutting of the bose box? Also is there room if you replaced the bose woofer AND tweeter with a component setup for the crossover somewhere in there?

Sorry for all the questions just want to do the best job I can the 1st time!

Thanks!

Don't buy Kappas unless your running an amp.
No depth issues.
5.25" rounds will need custom work.
No room in Bose modules for components, custom enclosures required.
