Tool/Supply Question

Ok. So I took the lazy route and ordered the front/rear swap on ebay:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/261166389100...84.m1497.l2649

Was about $95 after currency exchange.

I also ordered replacement 3.5 and 5.25 speakers for the front doors.

What supplies/tools do I need to install speakers:

So far on my list are:

1. Extra door plastic pins (where do I get them?)
2. Wire cutter/splicer.
3. Extra speaker wire.
4. Solder iron/solder.
5. Electrical tape.
6. Extra screws (what kind should I get?)

Thanks!

I do not think you will need the plastic pins. One of the best tools I ever got was the tool used to pop out door panels. It's cheap from advance auto or wherever you shop. Like $10 cheap. You will probably be able to reuse the mini speaker screws and in addition the speakers probably come with them.

The main thing you won't know until you get them is if the holes line up (probably will) then you would have to drill new ones. You'll need a couple screw drivers as well. At least a phillips kind.
