Default Speakers and alarm

I'm going to be putting in a whole new sound system soon and was wondering what the sizes of the originals were in the front and back so i can get the same sized ones.. Let me know if i'm right.. the front dash's are 4X6's and the rears are 5X9's? And i was going to throw in two 10 inch subs and an amp... can you guys post pictures of your setups.. Another quick question about the factory alarms.. mine doesn't work right now.. short circuit i'm guessing.. If i get a new one should i remove the old one or just leave it in? and whould it interfere with the new one at all?

As for the sound system. I am thinking of throwing in some new stuff.

I think (and if I am wrong sombody please correct me) the fronts are 4x6
I am thinking of something like http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/Pi...,21402,00.html

and for the back I was thinking 2 8" subs like http://www.xplodsony.com/products/?C...ers&MD=XS-L836

Also I will probally mount my Amp and rear speakers like Armstrong's set up (Sorry I used your picture, But I just love this set up. I am going to set mine up the exact same way)


Although I am going to try and squeeze in the 8" subs vs the 6x9's

The rears are 6x9 (takes you back, don't it?) Just make sure they aren't too deep. I've heard the Sony Xplod units will drop right in!
