FIRST - THANKS FOR YOUR POSTINGS, THEY HELP A LOT!!
I am in the same boat with a 2002 that I just purchase in Dallas. (I am in Houston). I found the front right speaker was blow. I also found that there is a site that makes a 1/4" thick plastic insert that will convert the 6 x 9 frame to accept a 6.5" mid bass woofer. I found the unit on ebay, but the parent company is MJM Auto Innovations. There are a variety of 6.5" 8 ohm woofers. Most are built for home stereo systems. I have purchase the pioneer version noted in an earlier forum report, but I have also decided to keep and repair the 6 x 9's just in case I don't like the sound. My concerns are similar to the other Dave's question. How difficult is pulling the door panel. The directions look clear but are there any key pitfalls or difficulties to be aware of.
