Since I fiddled with the one harness it's seemed fine but not sure if there is a better set out there or if I should just lose the harness and splice the wiring.. Also my Tape to AUX is garbage and to get the best sound I need to use the old CD Player or Radio. I really need to get a better setup for my Phone.. I have an old Pioneer head-unit in the back garage I'd love to toss in that had an AUX + CD player played MP3 CD's.

When I mentioned the "rear" speakers I meant the ones all the way in the back trunk (Left/Right) which seemed to of held up fairly well over the years.

That original I put in the pass back door seems pretty decent but tempted to buy another set since I can finally hear my tunes again.

Here's pictures of some of the old ones and the "rear" (trunk) speakers I mentioned..

Also I finally snapped the covering piece for the back door's window button.. Haven't checked online to see if there are any replacements yet or maybe I'll just hit the salvage yard.

Sounds like an OBS.

I'm not sure what type they are but they still work well.

The tweeter on my driver's door is also dead, I thought I heard the passenger side working briefly but it went out.. Might be the old wiring.

Not sure how much of a difference 2 new tweeters would make, 2 new speakers + the 3rd original working in the back sound great.

I did find 2 original stock speakers on eBay for the rear doors for $16 w/ free shipping.. figure toss one into the driver's side rear door since that's currently the only one not working. That's also the only panel I didn't take off.
