I've always done it to..to all my cars..its sound so much better then the factory ones or just treplacing the speakers with regular ones

When I had my SC300, I had 5.25 separates in the front door, 6.5 coaxials in the rear deck and a 12" sub box in the trunk. I created an amp rack where the stock cd changer and amp was located. I had an Alpine MP3 head unit and and a Pioneer DSP/EQ filling the double din area on the front console therefore didn't need to fabricate a mounting kit.
Since the front doors originally came with 4" speakers, I had to cut the enclosure and fabricate my own mounting plates to fit the 5.25 speakers. I had to adjust the speaker mounts several times so that the speaker had enough clearance to close door panel. The end product looked good and the sound was lots better than stock. Well worth the effort.

for good and most accurate sound staging. You shouldnt have speakers in the back. But yeah, you go to the fry's in city of industry???

Im planning on putting some 6x9's n the back with a little modding of the rear deck of course and some 61/2 components in the front.

I just got a 93 SC400 and am in process of changing the sounds as well. Where'd you get the adapters for the rear? I got some polk 4" to replace the rears for now but may up to 6.5". I don't see them on that Ebay site. Also, for the sub, are you using the existing amp? I just put a Kenwood X693 hu in and they had to bypass the amp because of engine noise, but I'm thinking I could use the existing amp to power the new sub I get?

here are some pics of the install, not the best pics since there from my camera, the pics of are the speakers installed using the adapter, we actually took apart the top mounts of the adapter and used them to mount on the rear, it wasn't that much hard work, we also mounted the cross overs in the rear as u can see.. i also took out the stock sub since they were already blown, and it actually bumps louder now since theres a hole from the trunk into the car now

Does the rear deck cover still fit with the rear speakers raised like that?

yes it fits perfectly, at first i thought there was going to be a clearance issue... so we tried it to see and it fits.. =)
