Cool! ![]() Also, FYI, you only need speaker harnesses, if you are planning to replace your factory speakers, with aftermarket ones. If you are going to continue to use your stock speakers, you will not need those harnesses.

Just dropping some confirmation information in here. I used the harness adapter to mate my aftermarket unit and it worked fine. I use the Pyle speakers too and they sound better than factory. Nothing crazy, but for $18 a set I can't complain. Also, I used a double DIN receiver with great success. This was $50 when I bought it, maybe it was used? http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0032FOJVQ/ref=ox_ya_os_product_refresh_T1 Amazing unit. I love mine. Looks very good installed. Also, not sure if this was included. I glazed over the list and didn't see it. But I needed an antenna adapter for my 2000 Chevy Metro (GM). http://www.amazon.com/Metra-40-GM10-GM-Antenna-Adapter/dp/B0002BEQN4/ref=pd_bxgy_e_text_z |

Updating this... A while back, I found out that Metra USED to make a bracket that would allow you to put 6.5" speakers in the back of a 92-94 Metro. Couldn't find a source for them. ...until now. ![]() http://www.tune-town.com/Cars/stuff/Geo/1992-94_Geo_Metro.htm Scroll down a bit, they're under the "Factory Speakers" section. The site looks kind of sketchy, but they're legit, I ordered a pair to see if they'd turn up or not and Here they are! ![]() ![]() (Mind = Blown.) I want to point out that these are a solid piece of steel. SUPER sturdy. Made to mount in the factory rear speaker location. So you can hide your speakers behind the factory grill. Stealth. ![]() If you're interested, I'd order them now - there's no telling how many they have in stock! (I mean, you could call them, I suppose. I didn't bother.) |

I would say that looks like old stock for sure. When they are gone they are likely gone for good. |

since you borrowed my pic i feel i can add something to the discussion. the pic of the rear speaker mounting shows the oem rear speaker mount from my old white gt which came from the factory with 4" speakers, the same as what they used in the dash. i used 5.25" kove compaxial 2 way speakers fitted to the mounts by drilling new holes for the retaining screws. 5.25" speakers fit well. 6" and 6.5" speakers are too large to fit well with that mount. the addition of the 5.25" speakers does wonders for a midbass boost to the system. they give you just a little more oomph than the usual 4 inch drivers which is a good thing for a simple, head unit powered, 4 speaker system.

You could have added something even if I hadn't used your pic! ![]() But by "that mount", you mean the OEM one, right? The ones I got, for research purposes, are aftermarket, and made to fit a 6.5" speaker. Yep! That's why anybody that's really interested had better snag 'em right away! |

On an aftermarket stereo? That's normal. Most aftermarket stereos that I have seen control their own brightness with internal settings, they are not controlled by the dimmer knob in the car. |

My contribution: Metra 70-1692 1987 - 1988 CHEVROLET SPRINT ER Car Radio Wire Harness Trying to decide what to do about my 87 Turbo 4x4" OEM radio/speaker system - perhaps the worst 4-speaker system ever sold? Dash is standard "Metro" 4 inchers. But for kicking rear speakers, they have two 4's in the hatch - they are on a wide but not very tall (~6" max) panel held with plastic push fasteners. Would a pair of 6x9's fit? Don't know yet. The car is 100% original and I would cringe of drilling a hole in anything. Anyhow, I'm going to stop here and probably post a thread here and on the "other" site. Thanks Tom |

Does anyone know if the 4" to 6.5" adapter plates listed above can be used in the rear seat speakers (4") without having to cut or alter the plastics? I just got a very clean 93 with only 78k miles on it and the car has never been hacked or altered in any way- I'm going to keep it that way. |

In a 2-door hatchback? Yeah, it's what they're for. Upgrading the size of the speakers in the rear seat, which sit, eh, somewhere around your passengers' knees, without altering the factory plastic side panels in any way. |
