Default BigGirl's Audio Upgrade
My audio upgrade began yesterday. I replaced the front and rear door speakers, and, the 2 corner speakers in the dash. The center dash speaker was disconnected at this time, see below for details.

For the rear doors, I installed Rockford Fosgate Punch P-1675. These are 6-3/4" 3-way speakers.

For the front doors, I used Rockford Fosgate Punch P-1675-S. These are component speakers that include separate 6-3/4" woofers and 1" tweeters. I chose these because with the 7-speaker Infinity sound system only bass frequencies are sent to the front door speakers. With that, eventually the tweeter would likely blow on a 2, 3 or 4-way coaxial speaker.

For the corner dash speakers, I used Rockford Fosgate Punch P-132. These are 3-1/2" 2-way speakers.

For the center dash speaker, I planned to install the two 1" tweeters from the component speakers I bought for the front door. However, the factory speaker wire was not long enough to cut and crimp on a connector. To resolve this I will order a factory plug adaptor from ebay, amazon or crutchfield. The tweeters have threads for a small screw on the back so my plan is to mount them to a piece of stereo backstrap that I bend in a U shape with ears on each end to screw to the dash.

I am very pleased with the sound of these speakers, it is very clear and more powerful than stock. And the sound should only improve when my new head unit and self amplified bazooka tube is installed.

As far as installation, I am very impressed at how easy the door panels and dash plate can be removed and reinstalled.
