before u install possibly non working speakers i say test them cuz ull be pissed to do all that work for nothing and testing them is easy as hell, just grab some speaker wire take a home stereo system with speaker inputs in it most have them the little red and black things in the back, connect the speakers to that and make sure they work. as for how to install on ur car i have no clue but just a thought for u before u waste ur time for possibly useless speakers.

Can't be that hard to install right? Seems simple, I just don't know how is all

Re: (dingy)
Are they even the right size for your car?
Get a panel popper so you don't wreck up your door panels. Also get a pair of speaker adapter harnesses from Circuit City etc. Carefully remove the screws behind the door handle, in the arm rest etc. You should roll the window all the way down and remove the inside cover for your side mirrors. If it's manual windows then take of your window handle. If it's power windows/door locks, you'll have to remove the little switch console and unclip the wire harness. Carefully pop out all the pops that ring the door panel and pull it off. Unscrew the speaker, plug in the adapter harness, hook up the new speaker and then turn on the radio to make sure it works. Plug the other speaker in on the same side and make sure it also works. Then do the other side. If any of the pops stay in the door, pull them out and snap them into the panel. Reassemble and make sure you plug in the wire harnesses for the door locks.

Yes they are the right size 6 1/2". My car didn't come with speakers when I got it so all that is there is two wires on each side.
