you'll need a mitsu radio wire harness from best buy, like 18 bux, and there are wires for speakers in the back, unscrew your back speaker covers and the wires are taped down to the metal with this brown tape, they were like that in my 05 rs. and then have fun drilling new holes for 6.5 inch speakers

there are some 6.75 inch speakers out there but are harder to find, those might fit the stock holes, and even possibly 7 inch speakers on crutchfield.com but probly cost more, i just bought some 6.5 inchers and drilled new holes

I had to do the same. It was worth it not having tunes for the first week. I actually got to hear and enjoy the car even more that way.

I agree. But here in NYC when your stuck in gridlock traffic there isnt any music happening. After a while you begin to lose your mind. I rather listen to the engine and turbo spool over anything thing that they play on the radio.

These speaker adapters are worth every penny.

I used them on the front doors, and the rear deck. You can get them at one of his e-bay auctions for about three bucks. He charges postage rates to mail them.

It sure beats the crap out of laying in your trunk and drilling holes.
