Can't figure out how to activate ESN...found instructions on how to DEACTIVATE, with the key cd, if need be, but its not on it currently anyways. No reason to let the feature go unused

Sounds to me like you have a Eclipse head unit. As far as I know the ESN is there version of sercurity. Like the removable face plate. Is should always be on. The way it works is when power is lost to the unit you must insert the KEY CD to get the player up and running. That way if you stole it it won't work. So it should be active all times.

Also about the door speakers. You could make your own mounts out of masonite, styrofoam, fiberglass, & you choice of covering. use the wood for the solid mount and the foam to add contour. Next cover the whole thing in fiberglass the kind with the fiber in it. then cover it how ever you want. I built mine in about 2 hours not including the dry time. Here is pic without the grill on there. http://www.foxtbirdcougarforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4749&stc=1&d=1133630840

oh, I know what ESN does, just not how to enable it. Its some button combination, but I don't know which. Can't find anything on ANY of their decks, on enabling it.

How to program CD:

1. Make sure power is off

2. Press and hold button [6], then the [FUNC] button- hold both for 1 sec
A [SEC] MESSAGE APPEARS, THEN IN 2 SECS it will change to [DISC]
The front panel opens: its ready to receive your key CD

3. Insert Key CD
Front panel closes
A [SEC] message appears, front panel opens, and KEY CD is ejected


How to cancel the Key CD:

1. Turn OFF the power

2. Press and hold button [6], then the [FUNC] button, and hold both for more than one second.
A [SEC] message appears, then it two seconds it will change to [DISC]
The front panel opens; the cd8051 is now ready to accept your Key CD in the CD slot.

3. Insert your Key CD into the slot.
The front panel closes.
A [CANCEL] message appears, the front panel opens, then the key CD is ejected.
The Key CD is cancelled.

*ATTENTION*
- This process cancels the protection for the ESN deck.
- If power to the ESN deck is disconnected, then reconnected, a Key CD will not need to be inserted in order to return the unit to normal operation.
-Inserting a CD other than the Key CD will not cancel the protection. Instead, the display will show [ERR] for two seconds, then the normal CD playback mode will activate."

Wow good info there.  Like Shawn I ran my own wires in my car.  The inbread sob that had my car before me cut the wires in the dash as well as the wires on the rear deck, and my car doesn't have premium sound or an EQ!  I go the factory repair harness from best buy and hooked the power side back up like it was soposed to be but on the speaker side instead of routing back to the factory harness I ran all new 12 gauge wire to all the speakers.  So If I wan't I can plug a factory stereo back in and it will work like it should.  Sounds very nice like this.

When I changed my door speakers I used 6" x 8" Pioneer speakers. They mounted in place of the originals w/ no mods needed....or at least they did on my Cougar. You didn't even know the new speakers were there until the music started. Hope this helps you some.

6x8's in the doors? I wish. My Component MBQuart 6.5's don't really fit in the stock holes. Either way, I found that 6.5 is too small (in open air) to be effective in the lower doors - in comparision to what the rear deck can do with Infinity 6x9's. I had to adjust the crossover to prevent them from playing deep bass since they'd distort at higher volume levels...after a certain point, the magnet would be overwhelmed and the driver would fly outward extremely far before bouncing back.
