Nice install, at least it's nice and clean, and it looks ok. But a word for the wise, Crutchfield is a nice resource but they don't have everything. Adapters are super easy to find:

Plus most of the audio companies on this forum make adapters for 6.5" speakers instead of 6x9's I think. You can ask them, or search for them.

Tacotunes adapter for the 6x9's in the door... find them on ebay and I think they are in the vendor forum here. Also, wicked CAS (also another vendor here) offers pods for the back doors to install speakers. Do a search for tacotunes, I know this has been brought up in the past somewhere on the forum. I used the tacotunes adapters in my FJ, my installer said it made life very easy for him.
Hope this helps,
Rob

nice well i did this to both sides in 1 hour and had every thing put back together using factory covers for what the bolts cost.. but if i had known about a prefab adaptor i might not have modifide!!
i have seen some NICE work ? but i still dont think its getto!!!! afterall im just a poor southern coonass cracker that cant spell and like old linnard skinnard

It doesn't look bad, That was how some of the first speaker mods were done. You used bolts and it went together really clean. The other install using the old grills was with screws drilled at an angle into the plastic to hold the speaker in....that was rather getto.

Overall, I think it's an excellent install. You can add the adapters later, if you want.

a bit clustered looking, but I'm sure it does the job.. are they component speakers, at least?

MDF and a jig saw works much better. and when i want to sell it i can return it to stock with the speakers i already paid for once.
