How hard to install 5.25's...any pics??

I'll be ordering new speakers relatively soon, like within the next day or so, and I need to know how hard it is to install 5.25" speakers in the dash? I know it has been done before but I can't find any references to it on the board (I know i'm a moron) and haven't seen any pictures either. Exactly how much modification must be done?? Any pics??

Thanks

Install them in some custom kickpanels. You'll be way happier with the sound of the results. All of the info you need to build fiberglass kicks is easily obtainable on the web. I suspect that it wouldn't be a whole lot harder than trying to cram them into the dash.

I put those speakers in the dask, it doesn't work all that well. I got them stuffed in there, only to have the dash pad crack in a couple places a month later from the pressure they put on it. I would advise you to get kick pannels.
