My install thread is further down the page. I have some pictures that I didn't post. I was/am a 100% car audio newb. I installed sound deadening material, double din H/U, amp, sub, new speakers, ran all the wiring everything. It took me forever but I am very happy with it.

I know it seems pretty easy for guys that have done it but can be a little nerve racking if you haven't.

If I can help any let me know.

Here it is.

i just think that there should be some notes to help with the install.

I had to modify the mid speakers frame to accept the tabs that the screws go into.
What do i do with the little box that the front speaker/tweeter comes with?? where does the stock tweeter go?? what do i need to be ready for when the door panel is off. I still need to instal the front speakers but i felt it should come with a little info to help.

There is a thread on this forum with pictures that shows how someone installed some bazooka DVC mid-bass subs. It was pretty straightforward, just start all the screws loosely then once they are all biting, tighten them down. Be careful not to lose the speed-nuts, tape can be useful to hold them in place.

The "little box" I assume you're talking about is an external crossover module. The short answer is... if you're using the factory monsoon amp and the factory wiring, do not use the module. If you're using an aftermarket amp and running new speaker wire to it, then use the modules. If you use the modules, do not put them inside the doors, just run speaker wire through the rubber channels by the hinges and tuck them under the dash or the kickpanels.

Which stock tweeter are you talking about, door or hatch? If you got a new two way coaxial for the hatch, you can remove the stock tweeter, or leave it in place if you want more treble in the rear, it really won't hurt anything. Use the wires that were driving the 4" cone to drive the new 4" coaxial.

Once the door panel is off, just remove the speaker mounting bracket, unplug it, and take it inside your house. Install the new cone, connect the factory wire leads on to it if you're using the monsoon amp. If you want to install some sound damping material or do some preventative maintenance to prevent a crack in your door panel, now is a good time. I used about 3.5 sheets of raamat on each door's outer skin.

The Bazooka install doesn't require that you cut the holes. If you just use the #6 speednut that brings the holes in enough to line things up. Or if you use the stock speed buts they will move in enough. The holes are much larger then the speed nut and if you look closely they have enough room to move. You can tape them in place to hold them there while you put the screws in.
Here is another thread that is very good:
