So do the factory tweeters still work? Are the woofer and tweeter in the door seperated by a crossover or by the deck?
That's a great how-to...thanks. I just picked op some infinity 6.5's for front and rear...will do the swap soon. Good job

that is quite a bit of room to start with.....but i think most people would prefer to have something other than metal on metal for speaker mounting.....plus I don't know if a 6.5" will sit in the door sheet metal....

I do ont like the "What fits my car section" I have a feeling the what fits my car means that they weill supply you with the platic baffels. But I am ot sure. Don't do the pioneers they offer... "BLAH". The kickers might be nice.
I personally like to go the extra mile and make things such as baffels. Feels good when you are done. You can use the pastic brackets that they offer too.

Yes, the tweeters still work. I am not sure what the factory crossover is. It might be the factory head unit. But I just poped my coaxel speakers in, So i am still running the factory tweeters along siide of my coaxel tweeter, which is not ideal because you lose power from your new speakers, but not much. Not noticably different. The best way to go is Component set, I just didnt feell like yhaving to make a speacial mount fot the tweeters. I am fine with my set up.

Hrmmm Not bad
oddly enough though, I baught Infinity Kappa's and they just plopped right into all four of my speaker holes, granted i had to break off thwe tweeter's mounting piece and fitted my kappa's tweeters on them, but hey it works beautifully.
So if your not one to work with wood, try the kappa's
They come with brackets that will be wide enough to fit the holes, and the three way 6.5" fit int he back perfectly even with the plastic dividers built behidn the grills, the teetwer pods fit right inbetween

Being that I am a stereo installer at circuit city, these look exactly like the factory speakers in the celica. Metra makes mounting brakets for the celica and these will probably work also. I will do some investigating on this. The wood ones are a great idea but i think I would just rather pay the 20 dollars and use the metra adapters.

Have you heard of dynimat? eDead is the same thing (only better). It is a sound deadening material. I keeps doors and metal/plastic panels from rattling. Essentially if done correctly, turns your car door into a speaker box. It creates better sounds and deeper bass for your car. Not absolutely necessary, but I am very **** about my audio. I like it crisp and loud.
