woot woot

thanks for the info, but i think i forgot to mention something. my spare tire doesn't mount on the outside of the car. i've got a 95 le and my spare goes in the inside left of the trunk area. are there aftermarket kits for an outside spare tire mount/rack? if so what brands are good? ideally i'd like to stay away from buying an outside mount kit if the 31x10.5s will fit on the inside. anyway, any help is appreciated...

i finally ended up getting my new tires. the ride is so comfy now. i ended up getting the bridgestone dueler A/T revos in 31x10.5. now i have a question for you about the spare tire. can a 31x10.5 tire fit on the spare rack/mount in the trunk area for a 95 pathy? if so, then i'll just buy a 5th 31x10.5 tire and mount it there. if not, can i use the stock spare tire (much smaller) as a fourth wheel with the other three tires at a different size? (i know that's a really dumb question, but i'm still new to this whole offroading lifestyle). thanks for your help...

kbreitwieser you're right about crutchfield. they're worthless. only thing they're good for is wiring harnesses. anyway, i've got a 95 pathy, and i used 4x6's in the front and 5x7's in the back. Be warned about the info from manufacturers though. I bought the kicker 46 and kicker 57 for my car (which they said would fit). i needed ALOT of modifications to make them fit properly. first of all, the rear speakers have a metal dome on the top that's fitted for the factory speakers. mine did not fit very well, so i had to cut off some of the roofing material to make it fit and screw in properly. as for the front, Nissan once again made a custom molding for their factory speaker. the 4x6's that i got would fall through their hole. i ended up having to get some plywood, cut out the same pattern, and mount my new speakers to the plywood. you could probably fit 5x7's in the front, but once again it'll be some more custom work. i was able to mount an alpine 6 cd changer in the glove compartment relatively easy compared to the speakers. anyway, my system sounds pretty good now, but i'm just waiting for another free weekend to put my bass tube in the car.

WHOO HOO!! i finally got my head unit installed. i'm still running into minor problems (no trim ring and no dim sleeve, but easily fixed). now on two step two of my sound upgrade... speakers. anyone have any recommendations for the 4x6s in the front and 5x7s in the back? i've used sony xplods in the past and they're pretty good, but anyone had a really good experience? i'm still not ready to move on to the sub and my own amps yet, but one step at a time right?? thanks for your help...

anyone know of a good site where i can read up on stereo installations? i'm looking to install an aftermarket head unit into my pathy, but i'm sooooo lost. i want to do this as a weekend project, but after even trying (without success) to take the front door panels, i'm ready to give up... please help...
