    Alright, got the cobalt, I'll take some pictures tomorrow. and azn, talk about trunk space! You could fit a pair of skis in there! :cool: but for the time being, I can't purchase anything to upgrade my stock sound system due to the fact that I had to replace my cell phone and it cost me almost $400.00 dollars:mad: But I have those 6x9's that I never put in my jeep that I might put in there just to give the 4 speaker system some extra help in the bass dept for the time being. until I get a dedicated sub setup. then the coax's in the stock setup become the mids' the 4 6x9's become my midbass and then I'll get some tweeters to complete the setup with 2 12"s. Running on a 3 Amp setup and x-overs on all of them. (THat however is neither here nor there) What I'm wondering is a simple question. The 6x9's, my options are 8ohms or 2ohms which should i do?

    oh and another thing, how in the world do I get down the seat belt holders for the front seats without causing any damage, I already broke 3 torx bits and it still didn't get them off:(

    why would you want to do that? if your making room for wire you dont need to remove the seat belts.

    BEcause I need to get off that whole panel to raise the back deck up, it's all connected so I can't get one panel off without taking the rest of them off unless I want to break them all.

    When the designers at Chevrolet thought about speaker setup clearly access to the speaker wires wasn't the main issue of concern.

    well it's a t50 but They haven't ever been removed and they broke off 3 of my bits due to the sheer force that I had to put on them. So I think a breaker bar may be in order
