4x6 plates?
Anyone installed 4x6 plates in place of the stock speakers?
I tried searching, seen two people post saying they had installed them on the dash and they "were a pain". What about the rear panels? anyone have any details? Seems plates are the only way to go for decent sound.

I custom built a sub box for under the driver side rear seat and replaced the door speakers with Sony Xplod's. Sounds like a rock concert in there. Tune the sub to handle all the lows and keep the bass turned down on the head unit so the stock speakers don't explode.

I have no stock speakers and no door speaker locations.

Put Polk plates in my 97 extra cab. Had to clearance the hole a bit, but well worth it.

Infinity reference 4x6 plates in the dash.I did no trimming,the magnet is tight, but they fit fine.
Theres no comparison on the sound.

I have Polk 4x6 plates in the pillars on my '91. Mine were completely plug-n-play.

Re: 4x6 plates?
I dropped Infinity 4x6's in the dash of my 94 when i had it. Never touched the rear speakers though. I heard it's real pain to get to them.
