The previous owner installed a nice Pioneer Head Unit, so we listen to Pandora when we travel, so I don't use the six CD Changer. Is that as simple as removing some bolts and bolting in the LC center console? Thanks.

well i now understand why everyone kept picking the same g series pioneer speakers. i ordered 4" for the dash and rear doors + 6.5 for the front doors. i guess ill post if everything goes smooth. do the speakers come with weatherstripping or do i need to get that seperately? all six speakers shipped from amazon was $90.

it would be best to search and see if anyone has done it, but i suspect that the LC version of the center console from a similar year will bolt right in.
i picked up the 5 1/4 and 6 1/2 pioneers today , im going to knock out the rears tomorrow for sure.
i am wondering , should i grab the 4 inch coax pioneer for the dash or should i just disconnect them ?
since i am staying with all stock sizes and removing the sub in the center console i wonder if more speakers will get a fuller sound.

IMO since 4" speakers aren't going to add anything to the sound of the system I'd just skip all the added work and expense. In fact I might just put the best component system I can in the front and scrap everything else. Perhaps a S-woofer in the far back.
My VW came with a component system in the front and two small 6-1/2" S-woofers in the rear doors. I may go this route if I can modify the rear doors (or some other spot) to take 6" or 8" frames. Plus separate amps and crossovers to drive everything properly. I don't care if it sounds good in the back, I just want good sound up front. And the whole rear door on each side acting as a woofer would be great I think. Not even sub, just a normal woofer.

Thanks Slim, I'll check. Cheers.

speakers are in. the door speakers were easy to install. the G1044R Pioneers fit perfectly in factory speaker casing allowing the grills to be re-used. front speakers were easy as the holes line up. the dash speakers are not what i thought they would be. on the left side i was able to re-use the factory tweeter location with the 4" pioneer. on the right side the speaker would not fit due to depth as well as width. i decided to plug the speaker in and put it loose in my glove box. if anyone has any ideas of how to build some housing for the glove box im willing to take suggestions. difficulty of install 2/10
previously i added two 10" MTX Thunder 7500 subs in a ported box. amp is sony xplod 760 watt (cheap and old)
sounds pretty awesome for a $200 speaker setup.

i think dash speakers do add to the quality of sound. the dash speakers were my only speakers that were not completely disintegrated however so i probably would have been just as happy leaving them in.
I used 3.5 Clarion's under the dash. I had to cut the "ears" off the factory speaker mounts and use them to mount the speakers but they fit perfect for depth and width.

Has anyone tried or do you know if the pioneer TS-A1675R will fit ?

Best advice here.
The dash and rear door speakers are a wierd size with special mounting flanges. Their compromised size and location only detracts from a good sounding pair of front-door speakers...mounted outside the door panels.
Don't waste your time and money, use the dash location for a CB speaker.
Pioneer ts-g1644r installed in the rear doors of my lx450 today for 75 bux at my local car stereo shop in bk . It was too nice to work on the truck today so I paid . It took them an hour , they had to cut the metal , the installer didn't seem to think it was any big deal

But will the rear windows go all the way down without hitting the speakers?
nothing hits , i checked it while there, nothing rattles when driving , no metal to metal contact , nada , nothing.
I tried to install the ts-gi644r in front door of my lx450 today but no joy ?, They were up against window rail, am I missing a spacer ?
I used some thick weather stripping on the hole and the window rail to space it out a bit.
I think the guy used a tiny spacer in mine , I can pull the door panel and see tomorrow
If I use a spacer with the pioneer G16449 can I still use factory grill ?
