Note for the basic speaker setup, the front and rear doors are the paper 15w speakers. Best to replace them all, unlike the alpine system noted previously.

Installing the JBL GX302's also balanced out the sound as the door speakers were overpowering the stock dash paperweights.

I tested my doors and dash and all the alpine speakers tested at around 2.3ohm. Only ones I didn't test is the ceiling ones. Alpine system is 2 ohm stable, the non alpine pretty sure is 4ohm.

Will I need some sort of wiring adapter/harness to hook up these speakers? I just want to make sure before I order all this stuff...

EDIT: Also, if any of you guys want to go halves on ordering a pair of JBL GX302 3.5'' for the center dash let me know. Today ill be ordering a set for the left and right dash, and two 6x9s for the rear doors... Thinking of ordering some 1'' tweeters for the rear roof too... Having trouble finding 2-ohm tweeters right now.
It’s nice to have a spare
