Both of my door speakers blew. I have a 95 grand am. I know that they are a 4x6 speaker size but just want to make sure they fit before i buy them. i know there not the greatest but i just need something up front. I want these but it says i need an aftermarket harness and just wondering whats up if i really need one

ill just post before the audio guys get here:lol:
dont get 4x6s
get 5.25s or 6.5s
and i kno u dont want the best speakers but please dont buy from walmart
you get what u pay for, at least get descent ones
and i dont think u need any harnesses for speakers but i may be wrong, i thought u could just cut the wires from the where the stock speakers go

yea i thought i could just use the stock speaker wires cut them and solder them. i really dont want the 5.25 or 6.5 because i dont want to mess with them i want them to just drop in. And i only want to spend like 40 for front speakers. Any suggestions?

Yeah, don't bother with 4x6s. You will need an adapter plate (available on eBay) for the larger speaker size; or, you could just make your own baffles instead.
There's a few threads about this, I would do a search for "6.5 speakers" or something like that. In the 95, because of the door panel, apparently there might be some depth issues (meaning a lot of 6.5s may not fit). If you can't find any 6.5s that fit your depth then go down to 5.25.
$40 usually can't buy you anything great, but sometimes you can get away with something half decent. However you probably won't be able to do this at Wal-Mart, lol. Stay away from those speakers. (By the way your link doesn't work, it just redirects to walmart.com.)
Instead try online retailers and/or eBay and look for decent brands that sell lower-end speaker lines at alright prices. Kicker, Polk Audio, Pioneer, Kenwood, all come to mind for what you're looking for (there are others as well, those just came to mind first). On eBay you'll probably be able to find an okay set of 5.25s from one of those brands for $50-$60 shipped, I would imagine.

The 4x6's will usually fit fine. I am using Sony Xplod's in the doors (From... Gasp! Walmart... since Crutchfield didn't carry them)
So far, no problems, and they do have pretty good response. They sound pretty damn good to me.
You can get a decent set from Walmart if you know what you're looking at.

go to crutchfield, tell them your model of car and such, then they will give you a list of speakers that will fit your car w/o modding anything, then if you dont like their price, ebay the speakers they said would fit.

the reason there cheaper at walmart is because there basicly walmart brand speakers the pioneers and the sony speakers they sell there are only sold there no one else carrys them because there walmart spacific and there a lower quality than the real ones.

Say what? I seen the same 4x6's I run at the Sony outlet up north at Grove City Prime Outlets. They wanted twice as much for them... same exact model. They're the ONLY 4x6's listed on Sony's website. Everything else is either components, 4x10's or 6x9's.
Anyways, my rear 6x9's though were the Sonys off of Crutchfield.

your totally right on the 4x6's man my bad but those are the only ones look on the walmart site all the other pioneer/sony speakers and subs have no model numbers(except for the 4x6's u pointed out) because there walmart specific models
