So I just purchased some Polk Audio DB6501 component speakers and I wanted to see what tools I was going to need to finish this job.

I know I'll need a rubber mallet and new clips for the A-pillars. But will I need anything like a soldering tool to get the tweeters to stay?

I plan on just figuring out where to put the crossovers (not sure I'll be using a sock as I've seen suggested here) but suggestions are welcome.

I have a door panel remover. But if there are any other tools I'll need please let me know.

I plan on taking pics to document

Thanks!

You don't need new clips for the A pillars. The people who say you need them...did not know how to take them off.

Do you honestly think Best Buy, Frys, or any other Stereo Shop has "A" Pillar clips just chillin in their inventory? Answer...NO!

There's a good chance I don't know how to correctly wiggle the a-pillars off but I expect an auto parts store like KOI to have the clips. They had them for the front bumper at half the cost of honda. Honda would also have them, but I hear at 6 bucks a clip...yikes

What the best way to remove the a-pillars without breaking the clip? Doesn't the manual call for the mallet that in turn breaks the clip?

Thanks guys!

Will I need anything to get the new tweeters to stay in the original spot, or will they just sit into place?

Awesome. I still haven't installed the speakers, which wont happen till sometime after the month of August. Oh well..I'm a patient man.

I did pick up the clips already from Honda, as I was expecting to install these a couple of weeks ago. For all four clips it was less than $8. Which does suck, but I was expecting worse. But if I won't be getting those the next time

Oh well, live and learn.

I'm not going to let a few bucks get me down.
