Somehow I've the exact same post twice, but the number of posts I have didn't increase.

Please delete so I don't look like a dumbazz in a sticky.

Thanks,

Sup all. First off big thanks to Sir Nuke for the wiring, was a big help. Second thing. I recently installed a single unit into my protege, not sure which modle but its the SP20 one, only its not SP20, if u get wot i mean. newayz, yeah so the stock unit was a double, as in it took up the 2 slots, but my new one, JVC 405, is only a single slot one. Any tips on how to secure it in better, coz with my car, theres no side frames or anything for the new unit to sit on/in and i cant like the new units plate in, so yeah, its pretty easy to lift out n steal, which sucks.
So yeah, if anyone out there had the same problem, some solutions would be a kick *** help.

I can see that the last reply to this thread was quite some time ago, but I'll give it a little input anyways. I can confirm 100% that the rear doors have no speaker in them for the 2000 sedan, however the opening is definately there. I have just recently installed (and I should have taken some pics. Damn!) a pair of 6.5" speakers in the doors and ran the wires. Since it's all running off of an amp in the trunk, it was just a simple pair of speaker wire runs under the doorsill into the trunk. The 6.5" speakers fit right in the door with no adaptor necessary, however, the door is just some raw metal with no pre-tapped holes. I just used a pvc shim to keep the speaker from grounding out against the door. With the addition of the rear door speakers, the rear deck 6x9's are now removed to allow more sound pressure levels from the trunk into the vehicle. The imaging is now much nicer without the reflection of the rear sound off of the rear window, and back seat passangers appreciate the lack of blaring 6x9s in their ears. It's an improvement all the way around as far as I'm concerned. I highly recommend the install, as it only took me like 1 hour or so.

I recently went to my local Best Buy-type store and they told me that my 2001 Pro Sedan had 6.5's in the front. I figure they are wrong but my roomate's 02 pro has 6x8 and their computers said that 02 pros have 6x8's... so i dunno.

Their computers are wrong, right?

I have an 02 Pro and I have to say it was the easiest car I've ever installed a stereo in. I was surprised at how much of the car is actually just snapped into place, it made running the wires for the amp real easy. I am curious though as to how easy it was for JFanaselle to run the wires for the rear door speakers since I, too, just realized that the openings did in fact exist. I plan to fill them soon with some Pioneer 6.5s, but I do have one dilemma (on top of the ease of wire running to the door) would you run those speakers off the front channel or the rear channel? I have my subs running off my rear channel of my deck now, but I assume I could just get a set of Y-splitters and use it if I had to, but the front channel Preouts are still open, so if anyone has any input I would be glad to hear it.

It wasn't that difficult at all. I just tapped fresh holes in the door jamb with a drill bit, and pushed a rubber grommet in the hole so the insulation doesn't tear on the raw metal. You have to be a little patient with the drill, as it can be hard to reach in between the door without actually taking it off of the car. I don't think my holes are perfectly straight, but as long as they line up enough when the door is closed, the wire won't get pinched in the door jamb. As far as which channel to connect it to, just tap into the rear 6x9 wires if you're running an amplified signal off of your head unit. If you're setting it up like I did, the 6x9's will be removed, but you can just run the wires from their location back to the doors.

I have a question about the speaker wiring in my '02.5 ES...
How are the 4 Fronts and 4 rears wired? I believe they are in parallel from the single output per channel from the H/U(?). And has anyone found replacement mounts for the A pillar tweeter so they actually point at the listener?
Thanks in advance for the input.

I have an 03 p5 with the factory alarm, and was wondering if anyone has had any issues swapping the H/U with the alarm. Is there anything I need to watch out for? tanks in advance.
