Following are some tips to aid with stereo installation in a Neon.

• The door speakers are held on with 2 screws and a C-clip. One of the screws is a Torx head behind the door handle, the other is a Phillips at the bottom of the well in the armrest. The C-clip holds the window crank handle on. A window crank removal tool is available at most auto parts stores for a few dollars, or a screw driver can be inserted in between the door panel and work the clip off that way. Cup your hand over the handle so you can catch the clip when it goes flying!
• The front speaker holes in the door are 5.75 in in diameter. A 5.25 speaker will be too small and require an adapter to fit. Meanwhile a 6 in speaker may fight if the cones exoskeleton is small enough.
• Pioneer and other brands manufacture speakers specially designed for the Neon front doors.
• Some higher end speakers magnets will likely protrude too deeply into the door cavity and you won't be able to roll your windows all the way down. Radio Shack has a 0.5 in spacer to set the speakers out from the door, part # 11449089, $ 12.95 each. They are made for the neon doors so no drilling is required, and only adapt 5.25 in speakers.
• Getting the rear speakers in is simple if you buy the right tool, and that tool is a T55 Torx bit for your ratchet. Pop the rear seat bottom cushion out and apply the Torx bit to the rear seat belt bolts and remove them. Lift the rear seat up and away. Now you can lift up the rear shelf and fit your standard 6 x 9 in speakers in the provided depressions. It's a nice clean fit, and using the covers that came came with the speakers wasn't even necessary, since the rear shelf has speaker holes drilled in it already.
• The Neon takes the same stereo faceplate kit that fits all Chrysler products made since 1978. Radio Shack sells one for around $12 that has all sorts of little add-ons, some of which are useful for keeping the faceplate from rocking on it's two opposite corners, although it doesn't rock really badly without it.
• There is very little for supporting the back of the stereo. It is possible to put a 45-degree crease in the rear stereo hanger about 2 inches from one end and bent it around so it made a 90-degree turn. A 2 in diam hose clamp can be used to clamp the short end to the sturdy reinforcing tube that runs behind the dashboard. This provides a very solid mount.
• Good luck reaching behind the stereo to bolt it to the rear hanger. This is made easier by removing the ashtray, then taking a utility knife to the plastic above where it was and cutting a nice big access hole to reach the back. Once the ash tray is reinstalled, this is not visible.
