    Wait
    Is this a joke

    Im cornfused

    Do access cabs not come with 6 1/2" rear door speakers anymore???

    Grab some adapters, slap in some 6 1/2s, dremmel cut out the door panels for max volume/sound quality, go down to a local shop and offer them a 12pack of their favorite beverage for trade on some metal speaker screen so nobody pokes them or crams shit in there (kids!) and rain sheds off when doors are open and rockin, grab watever grilles u like out of your old speaker box pile ( or see #4 above) paint em, wire in 12v and ground and add a switch, add leds of ur color choice for some nice smooth "mood" lighting for parking at makeout point and wala!
    ROCK ON!

    These are my ollld polks, running alpine s's now
    but u get the idea....

    I also replaced the stock door speakers, put in a small sub when I did the head unit. So, I noticed a huge improvement, but I can't say it was the NEX.

    More likely the 6x9 JBL's.

    Ordered a set of tires from @Discount Tire Direct and Fedex managed to delivered it to god knows where. Shows delivered but wasn't at my work's shipping dock. Fedex is looking into it right now. What a mess.

    This and that...
    Will be upgrading down the road, what adapters did you need for the steering wheel controls and back up cam? Using the same mic for the speaker phone?

    I was initially upset, but have cooled off. Mistakes happen and I'll be covered either way, but it does suck. I spoke to Fedex and confirmed several times of the shipping address just to be sure. "We'll get in contact with the driver and get back to you in a couple of hours or days..." smh

    It isn't the best location as it's too high for the best sound quality of the front seat passengers.

    Fed Ex lost a package coming to me. I had to wait for almost 2 weeks for them to see if it turned up before they refunded the vendor and sent a new one out. Sucky service.

    ?
    The front door speakers are way too low to be the only speakers in the vehicle, and the rear door cutouts are about 8" higher, still below chest height, and that's too high?
    Disagree totally. Now I have sound that isn't coming from my ankles.

    Tire rotation on the KO2s. 10k and 3/32 wear. I wasn’t disappointed.
