Although the OEM sub woofer is easily removed, it's not so easily replaced...
The mount for the speaker also holds the grille on the rear parcel shelf in place. If you don't have a trunk mounted spoiler, it also supports the third brake light.
I looked into this quite a bit a few months ago. At that time I couldn't find a posting where someone had managed to replace the stock speaker while retaining the stock grille.
I eventually cut the old speaker out of the ring that supports all the ancillary bits and used a conventional subwoofer in a box.

So I bought the bracket on eBay. just a little review... It fits in the door, but you do need to cut at the door panel. If they shortened the whole bracket it would have been perfect.
before I had the Polk Audio 4"
now I got the Cerwin Vega 6.5"

So if you don't modify the brackets your door panels wont be able to line up with the door all the way. So you need to cut some of the insides of your door panel or modify the bracket. (door panels still look stock)
After experiencing this I would just modify the bracket and re glue it. That way I wouldn't have to cut the door panels at all. The bracket design isn't the best...

I have to say those mounting brackets made for an easier install than building my own.
Question: Anyone know the best way of mounting some 6.5s in the rear. I know I've heard it done, just haven't come up with the best way to mount them... so-to-speak?

Looks like you and I have about the same setup (minus the Cerwins in the door - I have some 6.5" Pioneers). Looks like the same head unit as well (well... if it's the AVH-3200) - that thing is awesome. Now to just do something with that volume **** I'm not using anymore...

Cool, I've been leaning more this route. Can't wait to get 'em in. I've heard guys on the forum, who have put 6.5s al around, say that the sound with the bigger speakers is amazing (especially if you use good quality speakers).
