I decided to go with Pioneer Model # TS-A6872R

Now all I need is good instructions a pics of how to replace them in the front an rear doors. Are there any good thread on the site here?

I don't have any pics, but the front doors are a 5 minute job as long as you use the factory wiring.

Tools needed
1. small flatblade pocket screwdriver
2. 7/32" socket or nutdriver


Look around the edge of speaker grill for the notches, insert screwdriver into notch and pop out grill.

Use 7/32" socket and remove four screws holding in speaker and unplug from factory harness

Plug in new speaker using a harness adapter (metra 72-5600) and reuse factory screws, replace grill and move on to the other side.

Now if you have the audiophile speakers in the front you can leave the tweeters there, just unplug them, otherwise you have to remove the door panel to get them out. You have to remove the door panels on the back doors to change out the speakers. I'll go out later and snap some pics and compile a list of tools needed for the rear door panels.

Where can I get this harness adapter (metra 72-5600)?

I have a supercrew. Does that make a difference for the rear door? It looks like the front door.

There are two wires on the speakers. What is the extra set? Does that go to the small round tweeter? Is that why I lose the tweeter?



Here is my rear door. Do I just pop this access cover off like the front?

Thats an audiophile speaker, the larger connector on the right in your pic is the main harness coming in. That is the one the metra 72-5600 plugs into. The smaller one on the top is to the tweeter, you can unplug it and let it hang inside the door or remove the door panel to get it out. It has two philips head screws holding it in on the backside.

Yes, just pop the access cover and there should be two 8mm screws under there, the rest should be very similar to mine as for removal.

You can buy them at your local best buy if you dont want to wait. I think they sell them for 10.99/pr.

The speaker cover looks different, but is it the same for 09-10, as well? I don't really want to take the whole door panel off.

Not saying your wrong 05Red, but on my 08 Screw I had to remove the rear door panels in order to access the speakers. Only saying this because I don't want to see anyone damage any parts. If I'm wrong, sorry!

Mike

The speaker cover on the rear door does not come off like the one on the front door. If you try to get the rear cover off you will just break it. The rear door panel needs to be removed.
