THANK YOU 1ST MP3 IN NH for nearly all of this information.... :{D

You da man!!!!

Thanks Nuke!

Dale.

1995-1998 speaker size in the front is not 5.25 its 6.5 i measured it and used 6.5" speakers in it. Also had a guy at circuit city look at em... That post.. i forget which board it was on fooled me hehe

Thank you sir nuke, now I could install my amp instead having the shop do it!:D

I second that! I installed a new set of speakers in my gen2 last night and the front speaker size is 6 1/2 ".

I never even knew this was up.
Glad to see you spredding the help Joe.
I changed the 2nd gen size on protegemp3.com by the way.

This may be a dumb question, but I'll risk the flames of wrath: When you say rear speakers, are you talking about the rear door speakers or the rear speakers on the back dash? I just noticed my Pro doesn't come with rear door speakers and I wanted to get some good add-ons.

Thanks!

It is actualy listed differently.
The Pro sedan has rear 6x9s in the rear deck and nothing int the doors. Also it doesn't have any speaker wires in the rear doors either so it would't be just drop and go, you'd have to re run the leads fromthe rear deck over and into to the rear doors.

The Protege 5 and MSP are the only protege with rear door speakers. These are 6.5" openings.

I have a 2002 pro LX, and sound domain specifies the speaker sizes a little diff....they say 6 1/2" in the front door, and 6x8" in the back...thought that was wierd though...becuase I have 6 speakers...not just 4. 2 in front, 2 in back, and 2 on back dash....trunk, and I think those are 6x9's. Anyway, I ordered 2 sets, 6 1/2's. and 6x8's along with a new pioneer mp3 player, so I'll let you guys know how it sounds in a few weeks.

Looks like I'll be either taking this to an audio shop, or finding a friend who knows car audio. I can build UNIX/NT/Win2k servers, I can run network cable and repair computers, but when it comes to car audio I'm a retard. I wouldn't know where to start with running the wires and I'd probably make it sound horrible :(

thanks...and its now fixed here too.

good job, guys!

For more detailed infomation you can purchase
a detailed MasterSheet for your specific car from
Crutchfield. I haven't received my purchase yet,
but I'll fill you in... Anyone else use this infomation?
It supposed to have detailed wiring info and frame
layout for ease of installation.

well no offence...but if I were you, I would check, double check, and tripple check anything I get from them before I tapped into the first wire....why you ask? because a LOT of the information on their site is WRONG!!! just check out the speaker sizes and how much mounting depth you have available.....for MANY of our applications its just plain WRONG!!!

the pinout at the top is right....without a doubt....for the standard headunit in the 3RD GEN Protege.

Just to let everyone know... 6.5 Alpine type R's Don't fit in the 2nd gen.. mine hit the window and it wouldnt go down all the way... yea it sucked.. so im running 5.25's
