Nice, thanks. I was going to eventually try to fit some 6.5" or 8" speakers back there, but this is so cheap I may do this sooner as my budget is currently promised to other areas of the car.

P.S. Zip file opened fine on my Mac running OS 10.8.

Sorry but confirm that Zip files cannot be opened either with Winrar4.11 or 7-zip under WinXP on two differents computers. Speaker file "File is corrupted" and Oil cooler "file is damaged or unknow format".I assume that is due to the compatibility of W7 as usual with crosoft. You will be so kind in posting directly the pdf files.Thank you, and sorry to disturb you.

I would love to see a diy for the read speakers, i replaced the front, and ran two amps one for the speakers one for a sub in the back. I have the rear speakers off at the headunit, but have been wanting to add new ones from my amp. Problem is the rms for even the best 3.5 speaker is no where near my polk audio fronts, and would sound bad. if i could get 6.5s back there i would be very happy.

I have posted my DIY for the rear speakers. They may not be suitable for you setup, but you could use it as a guide to install some 6.5" ones there with a bit more cutting. There is certainly enough room behind the panels to accomodate them.
