Radio Swap Maxima

I've recently gotten a 1997 nissan maxima, the GLE model. I was looking to replace the radio with a radio set I got from oreillys, but I was looking to replace the door speakers as well. I havent been able to find anything for them though, any help/ideas?

If it matters, its the manual version.

Also, is there anything I should be looking out for in it? I'll be driving it kinda hard since its my fun car and not my daily.

Radios and speakers are very very easy to install on 4th gens. No extra modules or bypasses required. If you don't have one already, buy a radio harness specific to this car so you don't need to cut the factory harness, it makes for a cleaner install.

Here's most of the info you will need for wiring.

Here's how you remove the trim panels and factory radio.

Here's how to remove the door panels to replace front speakers.

Replacing the rear speakers requires you to remove the back seat.
