Unhappy 2001 dodge ram quad door, and drivers door speaker issue

hey guys, im sorta new to the forums but i need help, my drivers side quad door bottom latch will not budge at all (top works fine) just not the bottom one, i had the panel off and many different tools down in the door to try and open up the latch. Anyone have any suggestions of how i could get the latch open from the outside? or anything? any help is really appreciated

quickly one more thing... my drivers door speaker has no bass, i dont have the infinity package... so any clue what size the speakers are and how many ways they are, 2-3? i figure 3 cuz the controls for the radio are bass, mid, and treble, but i figured i would ask

-thanks guys

Sorry, can't help with the speaker issue, but I do know that I've seen a thread or two with the same issue you have with the door. Do a search while you wait for replies. IIRC , one of the things to try while you have the panel off, is to soak the heck out of it with a quality penetrating oil (not wd40) to start with.

yeah i did that a bit, the panels not off anymore sadly but if i get enough replys or something i might, but i have been wd-40ing it from the outside just all over the latch but from the inside it wont budge and its hard to get to but if i could get it with something from the outside that would be great, and just leave it open cuz my pass rear door bottom latch does not work either

One thing I do remember is, that whatever the solution was, it required the panel be off.

In the quad cab, you should have 4 speakers total. One in each front door, those are 6x9s, and two in the back door, or wall. The rears should be 5 1/4"

You can get replacements from almost any parts store.
