Top Door Speakers - Quick Questions
I did my research but I can't find where anyone lists the max depth for the 3.5" door speakers. I want to change my speakers and wanted to mount a phenlic horn tweeter with a depth of 3-5/8" . I was going to build a 3/4" plate too.

Stock speaker is barely 2" deep. I've never measured it, but there isn't much more room than that.
Top speaker actually mounts to the inner door skin. A plate would put speaker farther away from grill.
You need to take door apart to make sure, but I'm guessing the horn won't fit without major modifications.

Today I had some time to fool around with EQ - gain, crossover points, etc. I have the system sounding pretty great now. It still breaks up a little at very high volume levels but at reasonably high levels it performs. I was thinking of putting a 10" Goldwood driver in the door, with a horn tweeter and midbass speakers in the rear. I'll probably experiment with that in the future but for now I'm ok.
I want to find away to put connectors on the stock XM antenna and wire it up to the HU. I need some type of y adapter for XM, the connectors and the tool to do al this. Any ideas?

To get it from rear wheel to HU get an extension cable
If the plastic part of the stock antenna prevents it from plugging in to your aftermarket device, the plastic can be removed and it will fit.

I got impatient and cut the plugs off and hard wired it to the wire that goes to the HU. I want to crimp new plugs on - Couldn't seem to find a y adapter either, thanks for the link.
You can just use the stock yellow cord on it's own, or get something like this Y-adapter
