I have an 02 gt vert. It currently has an AVIC-D1 HU, but everything else is stock I have focal speakers and a JL audio amp I took out of my last car I am trying to install.

My questions:
Can I use these 6.5" speakers in an 02 (front & rear)?
Will it be hard?
Does anyone make mounting brackets that will make install easier?
Should I use new speaker wire?
Anyone have other internet links for how-to's ?
The 165KP box says "K2 Power" does that make these 165K2P's ?

Any advice is appreciated. And, if anyone reading this lives in the Dallas TX area and wants to help hail2, I wont say no

Thanks!

they make speaker plates out of ABS or you canmake some out of 1/4 fiber board.

Running new wires to the speaker is easier the tappng to the factory harness for me.

Thanks. For the plates, can I buy those materials at like home depot? Also, does the plate basically need to look like this:


This picture was taken from a site that shows taking the existing tweeter mounting plate, and cutting it up. Has anyone tried that?
