Why is there no Stereo Upgrade Sticky?

it looks like I'll be keeping the Aveo another year and I want to change out the front speakers with some $50 Infinity reference 6.5" from Amazon. I wanted to verify the fit and figured it should be easy by just checking the audio section... it's not.

That said, perhaps someone can make a stereo sticky? I'll help...
