its pretty straight forward, take off the door panels, unscrew old speaker, hook up new speaker and screw it in. For the sail panels you just have to take off the speaker cover. Just gotta make sure the wiring is correct and your good to go.

How do you connect the speakers? Also my door speakers came with a plastic box with alot of wiring/technical **** in it that has connections on it labeled input +/-, woofer +/-, and tweeter +/-. How does that fit in? and how to tell if a wire is positive o negative?

Im really talking about breaking it down retard style. I really don't want to screw this up!

....notice which wire goes in + and - on the stock speakers and plug them into the same on the new ones. the only hard thing about this is getting the door panels off and on. its a real pita.

So what is the function of the box that came with each of the door speakers, in reference to the key audio package.

It's the Crossover, it filters the high frequencies out of the sound going to the mids, and lower freq's going to the tweeters
To get the best sound quality from your new speakers wire your factory speaker wires to the cdt crossovers first, then to your new speakers.
FYI, if you don't use the CDT crossovers let me know, just Don't tose them in the trash.

If you are using the stock monsoon amp, you will not use the crossovers that the Cdt's came with. The monsoon amp has a crossover built into it. If you decide to get rid of the monsoon and go to an aftermarket amp, then you will need the CDT crossovers to seperate the front channels for the tweeter and midrange.

^ yup stock power is already too low for components, using their crossovers on one set of wires and not using the other is going to be even worse.
