Default 95' Dakota Speaker Help

First off, hello everyone!
I have a 95 Dodge Dakota and I have decided to go ahead and get some new speakers. I would like to know if anyone has successfully put in 6X9 speakers in all four spots.(with some obvious cutting) I've done some thorough search threw the site read that people have done it with no problem in the back panels but haven't seen where anyone has done it with the two door panel spots. If the 6X9 wont work in the front I could always go with the 6.5's. Was just wondering if anyone has pulled it off with 6X9's or if its even possible. Thanks for reading and to anyone who replies!!

It seems like the speaker is right in the corner of the door so trying to cut the 6x9 shape out of the original hole would be hard and not leave much of a solid mounting area and anywhere else on the door would probably interfere with the windows or locks and would mean cutting the panel too. IMO it's not worth it and kinda pointless. Just put in a good deck with good speakers and run some good, new wiring yourself and it should sound pretty good.

Thanks, I went ahead and decided to get two different speaker sizes. I've seemed to run into a bigger problem now though. Where to mount the amp -_____- was originally thinking under the seat but the cable to adjust the seats is right in the way. I have the two compartments under the back seat but neither will fit. I cant put it in the floor board of the back seat obviously. Anyone have any ideas?

It won't fit in either compartment? Not even if you modify them a little?
