Even if your car doesn't have this sound system, it will probably have the holes. I think they're 6X9. Mine are blown. I'm going to replace them soon.

Yes, I have. I recently upgraded the v8 ls sound system. Sounds incredible. Liked the factory look so I kept the deck. Upgraded the front speakers to 6 inch Infinity Reference Components powered by factory radio. The factory tweeters on each side of the middle console are still in place and functioning also.Rear door speakers were upgraded to 6x8 Kenwood 2-way. Added 6x9 Infinity Reference 3-way to the rear deck. The four Rear door/deck speakers receive power from a 4-channel 400 watt MTX amp which is mounted under the rear deck in the trunk. A single 12 JL audio sub resides in the trunk powered by an MTX 2channel 300 watt amp run in bridge mode. It is mounted in the cubby hole on the rear right side of the trunk. I took my time and stripped the whole interior out except for the front seats and dash. All new wiring was run from the amps to speakers. Speaker lines were run through the factory rubber boots for the doors. All speaker connections were soldered. I absolutely loved that the battery, an Optima yellow top, is located in the trunk. Believe it or not, it took me about 5 days, working a few hours a day, to complete the project. One thing that slowed me down was cleaning every part of the car that I had pulled out. The Armor-all Orange wipes are fantastic. With enough elbow grease, it will make whatever part look brand new. I took my time and have a lot of pride in my work (and the car) to do it right. I also ran a line level converter from the rear of the factory radio to the "hi" amp. The line level converter resides in the glove box. It has gain controls on it so I wanted to be able to access it easily. I only had to run one set of RCA's to the back of the car and of course the remote line. The "hi" MTX amp has an output that utilizes RCA's to send the signal to your SUB amp. The neat thing about the sub amp is that it has a remote gain level controller. I have the controller knob mounted below the traction control button on the center console.
There are holes on the rear deck for a couple of 6x9's. I had to "persuade" the sheetmetal to accept the speakers. I used a rubber mallet. It worked out well. I could have just mounted the speakers from the underside of the rear deck, but wanted the speakers to "sit" in something vs. "hang" from something. Have fun and take your time to do it right.
