| Pretty sure on on Alero's there is a speaker cover. Pop it off gently and you should have full access to it. If not, should be accessible through the underside in the trunk. Very easy either way regardless :) |

| Never worked with Aleros, but any speaker replacement is easy as 1,2,3. If you got the speakers surrounded it should just come right off. The cables should just slip off with a gentle tug. |

Scosche-cars.com shows 6x9s as stock speakers in the rear? Yes, 6x9s will mount right in place of the stock speaker.

Ah, sorry....I wasn't being angry at all, just questioning what you meant.
Yea, I thought about it while I was taking a shower, they are different.
Not sure about it, should be alright though. They are 6x9s.

I replaced the silly 6x9's and replaced them with 6 1/2's above the rear deck for some better sound quality.
I also have 6 1/2's in the doors too. |

Well, to me. 6 1/2's are better acoustically. My goal is sound quality, so I got rid of the 6x9's. You can use them if you want, I just don't like them. |

Yep....a car audio myth that 6.5s sound better than 6x9s because they are round instead of oval shaped...that's about the only argument I've seen, no proof. Nothing wrong with a 6x9, nothing wrong at all.
