I am looking to add a Pioneer Premier DEH-P310UB receiver and Polk Audio db651 speakers to 2004 Vibe. Is there anything I need to know? Any advice from you all?A few questions:What do I do with the high-mounted tweeters in the door? Will they still be used?Any tricks to mounting this equipment?Is this a good bang-for-the-buck system for the Vibe?I assume I don't need to re-wire the speakers, I can just use the factory wiring, correct?Thanks for the help!

I cant give you any technical info, but the DB651s are on sale for 44.99 at crutchfeild.

If you purchase from Crutchfield like mentioned above, you get EVERYTHING needed for the install, even instructions... I (and others) have HU install guides here as well...But choices are good choices.. you might want to have a look at the JVC KD-S100 as well on CF... it's a hot deal.. lol.. AFA the stock tweeter, it won't be used.. and I wouldn't recomend using it.. The factory wiring will be fine for this... when you get closer to install time, let me/us know, we can better assist if needed...

Thanks!You're right, I don't want to use the stock high-mounted tweeter, but I don't know how it is wired. If it is wired via a crossover somewhere upstream, I could see that for the front doors the high-range would be sent to the tweeter and mid/low to the main speaker. Is there a crossover built in the Moon&Tunes system somewhere? Or are both speakers getting the full range signal? I don't know how it is wired, any help?I had a similar question about how the stock security system is wired, since it flashes an LED in the stock headunit. I hope that by removing the stock HU I am not disabling the security system, am I?

lol, now i'm chasing you around in 2 threads... The stock mid and tweeter both get full range signals and use a small cap to act as a high pass passive filter.. the line coming out of the amp should be full range.. Do you have a security system, or keyless entry with a LED in the HU?? Mine had the latter of the 2..

Yes, thanks for replying in a couple places. I also took your advice and read the install guides by BlueCrusn and KeithVibe. They both used the Scosche OEM-2, but Crutchfield didn't put that into my order. I am confused by that and don't want to have a bad install or have to re-do it. Great to know that the stock speakers all get the full range and have a filter at the speaker. That means that the new speakers I am putting in will get it all. Thanks!I have the keyless entry stock "security" system with an LED in the HU.Thanks Sublimewind!

When I installed the new speakers and tore out the old, the stock tweeters on the top of the door are still active. You all with the 6-speaker setup who have upgraded, do you disable the tweeter?I installed one of the two front speakers and it didn't fit under the door panel using the stock speaker mount/plastic. Others must have run into this, right? How did you all solve it? I posted this to cohocarl's speaker topic, I think that would be a better place to discuss: http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=785&page=3
