"Easy" to install components? What is a set of decent components (~$200-$250 on ebay) that are a breeze to install in a Firebird? I don't want to cut, fiberglass, modify, etc, just drop them in and wire them up to an amp and rock.
BTW - where do you mount the crossovers? Is there room in the doors or should I put them in the kicks? Also, what kind of speaker wire should I run from the amp (back wall) to the speakers?

Well for that kind of money i would recomend the infinity kappa perfect 6.1 component set. Now 01transam installed these in his doors but had to drill his own holes to get them in. I have no idea why he had to do this but whatever. I've heard these infinity components in 3 different cars and they always sound fantastic. If i had the money i would have these instead of my alpine type s components. As for mounting the crossovers, i couldn't find a good place so i got myself some industrial strength velcro from home depot and velcroed the crossovers to the bottom of the door on the inside about 2mm beneath the window. Fits like a damn glove and it ain't goin no where! (pardon my redneck speak) As for speaker wire i would run 16 AWG. In fact i am going to run either 16 or 12, haven't decided yet.

...I love my set I installed in my Z28....
