Seeing it in person, this wagon is NICE. The owner needs a haircut, but it's a seriously clean car inside and out.

First thing I changed was the headunit. I liked the original, but it wouldn't play burned CD's. I had this one laying around out of a field car, and it worked great, so for now it works.
Next up, was the dash speakers. It had some really cheap 5"? speakers in it. I replaced them with 4" Infinity Kappa's.
I made an adapter plate so they'd fit nice, as there's literally just enough room for them to squeeze in.
Big ass magnets.
With the dash pad off.
Next up was the door speakers. It had some fairly nice speakers in the door, but since I was already redoing everything, I replaced them with some 6.5" Infinity Kappa's.
Had to do a little work to make them fit, but they do. Their covered by 90-91 speaker pods.
Next was the rear 6x9's. I replaced the Sony Xplodes (which are now in the 89) with, you guessed it, Infinity Kappa's.
I had to make a backing plate for each side, as I felt the plastic alone wasn't strong enough.
There's just enough room for the magnets to clear.
The top.
With grille's on.
The 6.5's and 6x9's are all powered by a 200W 4 Chanel Pioneer amp hidden under one of the rumble seats.

Originally posted by pantera77 View PostI didn't, the previous owner did. It simply attaches to the door panel itself. The 2 tabs go through the fabric, and large washers are slipped over them, with a pin to keep them from coming off, and the 2 screws at the bottom simply go into the door. If I could find to mint door panels with out them, I would simply cut holes in them and put the speaker through it, simply because I don't like how the pod looks. I will get pics the next time I take the panel off.~David~
