Question Speaker change help

Ok just ordered two sets of Kappas for the car a few days ago, ann they should be arriving sometime soon. What should I make sure I have on hand harness/adapter wise for the switch?

By the way for right now they are going to be powered of the factory Pioneer amp. Eventualy I will be able to finish the rest of the system with a 4ch amp for the kappas and a mono amp for my 12incher.

speaker wire would be good, that should be all you need because have the premium sound system you don't need the speaker rings/mounts. The premium already has them door panel trim remover tool would also be a good idea and investment.

Thanks I have the panel remover already. The dynamat will go in when the new amps are installed.

I'm being lazy here, but are the rear speakers 6x9s?

LF +tan-grey
RF +LtGreen-DarkGreen
LR +Brown-Yellow
RR +DarkBlue-LtBlue

Speaker wire from the factory is long enough and more than suffecient for anything less than 250 watts per speaker.

Dynamat Xtreme is a good investment...especially for low power(stock) systems as it will make the noise floor lower and make the less effecient Kappas play to their abilities. You don't need a panel tool on HHR's....simplt remove the screws and start yanking from the front inside corner of the panel. The clips will come off easily.
