Do whatever you want. As long as they fit (6x9 in the rear, 6.5 components in the front), you should be good. If you want to just use a 6.5 2 or 3 way speaker in the front, you can do that too. There probably won't be much of a noticeable difference in the sound.

The tweeters hook to the factory woofers so you will have to splice that.... also if you get the quick connects from worst buy they need to look like this.

Well the ones you buy will be black and white. this the oem one from tweeters. The connectors are good for all 4 speakers. Tweeters gotta be spliced back into the mix.


This is how the fronts are. There is a spot where the wires slip past the speakers shown in the pic for tweeters.

If you can find a set there not blown. The fronts were like $35 and rears were I think $48 wal mart. The plug and play was about $32 for front and rear set at worst buy. I always get the plug and play for easier instal vs cut and solder. Later I will post the exact kit cause best buy usually gives you the wrong one. Not sure what year they changed connectors for the speakers, if the mote has the same size front and back size you might be able to get away with it. Same for radio and in dash kit but if it's like the century you might have to cut to fit.

You can probably get one at a JY for under $30. I actuallly like the stock radio better than anything aftermarket, especially if you have steering wheel controls.

With the stock radio, there is a 60/40 chance it's still there in the car/truck/van cause theftlock is a hassle to deal with. You kinda have to take into consideration it could be in worse condition than yours. I found 2 exact radios but decided aftermarket double dins are my best option and Cruchfield has kits to keep the steer buttons. OEM radios here go for $24-26 depending on if it has a tape player or not. The yard I go to has warranty options on parts for an extra fee for the event it doesn't work. Supposedly 2001 or so they changed the radio connectors and radios in general making them non plug N play with the older ones. I hate my NON MP3 CD player skips every 5 seconds. My tape deck is broke as well but that's normal. I never had a walkman last more than a year when I was younger nor the tape decks in the Ghetto Blasters. I think they are rigged to fail like the resistors in the gauge cluster. There is a thread above us that has the way around theftlock if you want to venture that direction. My Xplodes are holding up fine but I would go with component set for the front door. The Xplode 4 ways in the deck love bass but the door 4ways are meh when it comes to bass but are lovely with mid and hi's. The built in crossovers kill the bass.

There was a few different kinds of radios depending on options of both new and old style. The following listings show the backs of the radio.
