Installed New Speakers...
i just installed new speakers...6 1/2" in the front and 5 1/4" in the back...fits nicely...front and back are the polk audio..GXR
i used the scorse Toyota 2000 and up speaker brackets and it fits nicely...two of the three holes lines up perfectly with the door...the other hole..i just stick a piece of napkin between the brakcet and the door to make it tight...
i got one question though....i had to splice into the speaker wires...what are the chances that the wires will come loose..??

What kind of connector did you use? If you used the simple, clear ones and a good set of crimps, then you will be fine. I actually prefer to cut the wires than use the factory speaker harnesses.
Did you make sure the speakers are all in phase (positive/negatives lined up correctly for EACH speaker)?

i did modify the stock brackets..but it was easier just to use the brackets i got...
i used 5 1/4" in the back because a lot of ppl on this forum was telling me that 6 1/2" would be too big to fit in the back...
i only changed out the speakers...it made a lot of difference..the stock speakers are made of paper...

Whoever told u that 6 1/2" dont fit in the back is full of ****. LOL! That is the funniest thing i have heard. You can go as big as 6 3/4" all around the car. I found that with the after-market brackets, you would need to drill the door itself! That i was not going to do so i just modded the factory equiptment. My install looks professionally done and flawless of errors

Front: 6 3/4
Rear: 5 1/4
5th gen NON-Bose:
Front: 6 1/2
Rear: 6 1/2
You MUST mod a 6 1/2 to fit the Bose system or else it won't be big enough.

Re: Installed New Speakers...
Why didn't you just use the brackets that were in there. I got 6 1/2 speakers in both front and back. I left the original clips on the ends of the wire and the original clip on the speaker. So if I want to go buy some stocks to put back in I can just snap the wires together and it looks stock.

Crutchfield says for the 00-02
I know they can't always be right, but at least you can send them back if they don't fit.
Front Door:
6-3/4", depth up to 2-3/8", and a height up to 1-7/16" will fit.
Rear Door:
6-3/4", depth up to 3-15/16", and a height up to 1-7/16" will fit.
Anyone try fitting the Infinity Kappa 652.5i in the FRONT doors? It's got a 2-7/16" depth. I mean 1/16" can be had with a spacer right?
Otherwise, I'm going to get Kenwoods' KFC-Xr701. Any opinions on which is better? I'm partial to Kenwood Excelon, but my sub is Infinity and I usually try to keep at least all the speakers the same brand.
SPECS:
Infinity Kappa 652.5i
--Sensitivity 90 dB
--Freq. Response 45-21K Hz
--Recommended Power(RMS) 2-75 watts
--Peak Power Handling(RMS) 225 watts
Kenwood Excelon KFC-Xr701
--Sensitivity 92 dB
--Freq. Response 30-70K Hz
--Recommended Power(RMS) 2-50 watts
--Peak Power Handling(RMS) 200 watts
Front Door:
6-3/4", depth up to 2-3/8", and a height up to 1-7/16" will fit.
Rear Door:
6-3/4", depth up to 3-15/16", and a height up to 1-7/16" will fit.
