No I don't have pics. I would have. But some storms shot up that evening when I was working in it and had it all apart. So I had to take it up to the barn and finish up there and it was to dark. But the mount holes arnt excatly the same on the little adapter piece in the car but they are really close. I knew what tools and splices j all needed before I did it all so it took me like 35 min to pull the door pannel and speaker out and have the new ones hooked up and all back together. If you are going to do it. I would just get the baffle and the speaker. Then get you 4 of the small wire splices (the red ones) a crimping tool and I believe the screws thar hold the speakers in is a t15 or t10. Pull the speakers cut wires splice, crimp and put the speaker in and door together and your all ready to go. I didn't want to cut the door panle so it just like stock but sound is way better. And since you can't see the speaker there is no need to put the speaker guard on.if you do it let me know how it turns out.

So wait, I'd have to splice wires? I cant hook them up to the original connectors in the car?

Well I didn't really splice. The cars plug is different on the stock speaker then the regular. If you get 4 male spaced. The flat ones in the red. The wire that comes with the speakers you can cut down and put the spades at the end of them and plug it into the harness plug that tuns to the speaker. So I didn't cut the plug off. I wish I had took pics that way I could show you but its really simple. But I also am a mechanic so I do stuff like this all the time but on golf carts mowers and what not. But its really really dimple.

Are you also willing to install the amplifier in your vehicle it gives more power and great sound. Have you removed the old speaker from the door? I will suggest you to also install the JVC speaker in the backside.

Yes the amp would make a great amount of difffence but if you have a decent head unit just use the amp for some 6x9 or 10" subs in the back I wouldent try to hook up the door speakers to an am. At least these I have a older jvc and its not that great but the speakers sound amazing. Now if you put the speaker in from the back you would ha e to have a ring to hold the baffle in and you have to worry about the speaker hitting the door glass. You can't see the speaker wither way so it wont make a diffrrnce just more difficult installing for the same performance.
