I recently installed the JL Audio VR525CS speakers in the front doors of my Protege 5. They are a 5.25 Component set with 3/4 inch tweets. The tweets are installed in the triangle plate on the door by the mirror. I just got my digital camera back today so I should have a bunch of pics up of my car sometime tomorrow night.

All 3rd gen Proteges have 5x7 speaker openings in the front doors. I installed 5.25" MB Quart component speakers in the front doors with an adapter.

Hey Jeff, how much that JL setup in the front cost you? :| I need some new door speakers, mine are blown, they pop everytime I turn up the music :[ And, do you like them?

I love them alot although they would sound alot better with a new Deck and amp for clearer power. The set of VR525CS if i remember were 250

I installed Polk speakers in the front and rear of my P5. 6x8's in the front and 6 1/2's in the rear. The 6 1/2's used an adaptor bracket that needed drilled to fit properly. The sound is noteably better quality but still lacks the bass and volume, afterall it is a 5watt system. I'm installing a 600watt Profile Audio 4 channel amp and Polk tweeters in a week (once they arrive). This will definately please the ears. I'll let you know how they go!

I put 2 JL Audio XR 5x7's in the front of my P5 and man do they rock. Coupled with a 300x4 JL Audio amp, and a single 10w6 I couldent be happier. My head unit is a Kenwood eXcelon Z828, I would highly recommend this to ANYONE. An eXcelon quality MP3 deck, w00ty!

What harness did you use to hook up your deck. I went to get one installed but there isnt a harness yet and I dont wanna splice all the wires

Mine came with the install job of my CD player.. I believe that it is the same connector as some of the newer Mazda's use.
