Update:

this is how far I got today...

installed 4 x Infinity 3.5" units.. both the dash and the rear were tricky and needed some adjusting to space the speakers out etc, new holes drilled...

2 x Pioneer 6x 9 installed in doors...

all topics regarding this were very helpful, however none mentioned polarity of sotck wiring in doors...

right door pink is positive and left door red is positive (thanks to whomever it was who posted full wiring diags for the FJ... found color coded stereo diag on page 40 (ish?) )

Made a few other minor changes... you dont need a dremel as mention in the post (for door install).. side cutters suffice to hack up old speakers (if you can even call it that... how pathetic! no wonder it sounds like crap!!!!!)

I'll post pix later...

next plan is to get amp and I guess intercept feeds to the 6x9's ...

the 6 x 9s are rated at 230 w 80w RMS ....

what kinda amp should I look at to drive them and also a 10" sub (not yet purchased) ?

Thanks for the exc writeup. I have one suggestion for those installing the rear speakers. Instead of wrapping the magnet with electrical tape, paint the magnet with Plastifab or one of the variations of 'liquid rubber' - the stuff people dip tool handles into ....

The stuff is fantastic. It also can be used to stop a lot of rattles and rubbing issues in all kinds of vehicles - cures metal to metal or metal to plastic noise ....

PLUS the Tacotunes.com adaptors make the 6x9s must easier and more professional vs tape and screws .... just fyi.

Banned maybe, info still worthwhile......

I just figured out that when a name is not clickable they got banned. Takes me a while

. He seemed like an ok guy to me, but then I don't know why FishAntlers was really banned... hopefully not because he said the FJ stock stereo stinks lol.
