Most of the GMs have a plastic braket the speakers are mounted on.
You could also glas your own kicks for about $30...

I have no place to do that in nor the experience i would need. They wouldnt turn out at all lol or id do it.
Im thinking im gonna go with the 4x6 infinity kappa plates in the front and the 6.5 kicker midbass woofers on the rear deck.
My amp is either 150 per channel at 4 ohms or 225 at 2 ohms
Im gonna run the kickers at a 2 ohm load which will give em 112 watts they are 125 rms so it should be fine.
The kappas are 2 ohm so im gonna run em at a 4 ohm load giving them 75 rms instead of their rated 60 so it seems like everything will work.
Now with my subs im usin a jbl 1200.1 and each sub is SVC 4 ohm. The subs are 300 rms. the amp is 600 rms at 4 ohms or 1200 at 2 or 1 ohm. Im guessing its like 300 rms at 8ohms? which is the same power as the subs are gettin now. Im probably gonna have to wire em in series until i get either 1 more sub or sell these 2 and get 2 different ones. Think the system will be pretty loud? Right now im using sony 3.5s so and a sony deck so im sure it will be an improvement.

i really think 4x6"s suck. i have pretty much the same car as a beater car its a 96 cavilier but you can fit atleast 5 1/4"s with the bracket out of there. just make a mdf spacer ring and you will be all set.

why? there are 5.25 comps out there that sound damn fine.....come down to the shop, close your eyes and ill switch between the two...not a hell of a lot of difference in a good set...
