Help on instaling speakers in a 2000 explorer xls

[RoughKnight]

i am realy new to this and i've just goten 2 6x9 4-way speakers and i need alot of help on how to install these can anybody help me?

You will probably have trouble fitting those 6x9s in your doors. The hole is made for a 5x7. You could probably build a baffle/trim ring to make it work, but don't go too thick or you won't get your door panel back on.

My honest suggestion: Ditch the 6x9s and get some 5x7s or some 6.5s.

Good luck.

I guess you could make a box to put them under the rear bench seat or you could do some cutting and fit them into the door pannels maybe some glass work to make it look nice and smmmmmoootttthhhhhh

Not that hard each speaker has a pos-neg. Each radio has a front left front right... etc. If you are puting them in the place of factory just run the pos wire alread there and the neg wire already there that the factory speaker uses to the pos-neg on the speaker your replacing the facory with and wallllllllaaaaaaaaaaa.
