I'd sure like to see pics of the speakers that are in the trunk on the ceiling.

Sounds like an OBS.
Thread title says 2001, so I'm just curious....

Yup, but they(OBS) have rear speakers mounted in the roof above the hatch or barn doors area--so you never know....

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.

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.

Realized those are the rear 1" tweeters (pillars) in the back.. Leaving them alone they sound fine.
Ordered a set of the Memphis tweeters for up front since the driver-side is dead and the pass-side sounds like it goes in and out whenever it wants.
Drivers side one just "hangs" loose kind of and the pass-side one is screwed in well. Not sure if these new ones will be able to screw into anything.
I can just break out the hot glue gun or use double-sided adhesive I've got some good 3M from when I messed up one of my rain guards. I'll even go with EZPass Velcro if needed since I've used it on a lot of random things and always withstands the elements. I've been using EZPass Velcro to mount parts inside my PC Gaming/Towers and that stuff can really withstand the heat lol. Actually holds up a lot of weight too.. Made a custom PC case 15'sh years ago and got my 2nd system in it now still 100% hehe.
Not sure how much the tweeters will enhance the experience but with the 2 new front speakers I've already managed to annoy one neighbor while out in my driveway while listening to a few different CDs.. I think Pantera Cowboys from Hell was sounding real nice, then the WWE Volume 4 when Y2J's track starts.. The Undertakers theme was real nice though
Pretty happy with the 3/4 speakers working again, hoping one of the stock ones I ordered will work out well, heck for $16-17 off eBay worth a shot. But I'm already tempted to buy another set for the rear doors, guess I'd just get another set of the Kenwood KFC 1666S's unless there's another set similar priced that might have a little more bang.
Also ordered one of these $15 Tape to Bluetooth adapters that arrives today, hoping it works well.. The headphone jack on my Moto G Stylus (2022) is a little *****, I tried 2 or 3 Tape to Aux units I own and they all do the same.. sometimes only plays music out of one side unless it's 100%. That threw me off when I first installed the speakers, I should have been using the CD player to test at first.
Loving Crutchfield the tweeters will be here tomorrow and I'll have all day to mess around

Wound up grabbing a 2 set of similar BOSS speakers from Autozone for about $40'sh after I had some points saved up.. tossed them in the back doors and sound great.
Also added two new 1" tweeters into the front doors, went with these cheap Memphis SRX1's.. Not overly impressive but they seem to work decent. I had to kind of snap out the old mount and used some EZPass Velcro to "mount" them and they are pretty secure where they are lol.
I thought about getting new 1" for the rear pillars but the stock ones in there still seem pretty decent.
I was looking at this 8" Subwoofer for the back.. Original sounds "okay", a little muddy, figured just toss something new in.
