hehe at atleast it worked out in the end  , i would have told you to put in good quality 6 inch speakers in the rear and use a subwoofer for rear fill. I had custom door pods made in my camry for the splits, but the bastards cut some metal on my door  . I have always done my own installs but i thought their pros they can do the doors better, boy was i wrong  , then i drive out and the freakin splits on the left side werent hooked up.

Yea, it worked very well. The only thing that doesn't look stock is when looking at the underside of the speakers in the boot, (obviously I now see the sony sticker and the red cone), but also just a short bit of new wire going from the original plug to the plugs on the speakers themselves.
I put those speakers in as they were an (almost) dead set drop in for the original speakers and no mods to the actual car itself were required. Plus I'm over the whole big system with sub phase. I CBF'd with that shit anymore. The only thing I'd consider installing now that would require a new mount would be maybe a small amp to power the rear speakers. That being said, I would like to eventually get a MP3 headunit, but yea, like the speakers that would be an almost drop in replacement for the current factory unit. On that topic, does anyone know where to get a wiring loom from if I needed one? I don't know how the wires are attached to the back of the factory headunit as I havn't pulled it out for a look yet.
And yea, I know what you mean by the pros. Back when I had the old corolla, I did the speakers/amp/sub myself, but when I got a CD headunit, at the time I was a bit iffy about it, so I got some pros to install it.
Ended up with a cut in the dash that was visible out from the side of the unit. Someone cut a little too far.
