"I used the Infinity Kappa 682.7cf . As getting the rears out. I used a snub type ratcheted screwdriver. I forget the size torque bit, but it is a torque bit needed. I couldn't see what I was doing, it was by feel though. Not easy, but doable. "

The screws aren't on too tightly, I was able to take a torx bit and unscrew them by hand.

So I just went to Crutchfield's site and did the whole "what fits in my car" thing...turns out they don't think that the Infinity Reference 6812cf speakers will fit in my 06...? Are they just flat out wrong or what?

+1. I also replaced all four with Infinity Kappa 682.7cf's and have no complaints what so ever. Replaced the door subs with MTX 4508-4s, replaced the trunk subs with a Scosche box and an Infinity sub, replaced the skipper1000 head unit with a Kenwood DDX7015, and driving it with two Kicker 650.4 amps.

That is because they are 6x8 speakers and since the factory size is 5x7 their database doesn't recognize a 6x8 as fitting. But they will.

Go in to the trunk and break the plastic nut on the speaker bolt/cover with a pair of plyers or something. Then replace the plastic nut with a metal one. You are going to want to tighten down the speakers better than they were from the factory anyway. Especially if you add power to it.

Huh, didn't realize my car had a stereo...

I've just been listening to the engine all along!
