Okay so Ive read the FAQ threads over and over again, but nobody has definitely said you need shallow speakers or not. I need to know what are some speakers that sound good with a good price. I believe all 4 of my two ways are bad too.

 

you can use regular depth speakers as long as you save the mounting brackets off the factory speakers (the black plastic ring piece that they mount to)

 

Fantastic. Getting OEM replacements is out of the question at $160 each, so do you have any good suggestions? Also, what kind of power does the OEM system produce?

 

I went with Alpine type R's in mine but, you well have to use a better amp then the stock 62amp we have.

just replaced all 4 of the door speakers in my durango. all of the foam in the speakers were gone. i bought 2 cheap sets at walmart. the brand is scosche. here is a link http://www.walmart.com/ip/Scosche-HD...r-6.5/17128652

i believe they were 4 ohm, i heard never to use 4 ohm speakers on 2 ohm system because you wouldn't be able to here them, but they blast and have a good sound.

 

you will have to cut the factory plug off and re wire it but it's easy enough
1st- unscrew the speaker from the door and cut the old speakers out of the factory mounting bracket(cut the post going from the magnet to the rim of the bracket

2nd- get your aftermarket 6 1/2 round speaker and drill new holes into the rim of the factory bracket that match the mounting holes in the new speaker

3rd- cut the connector off coming out of the door the goes to the factory speaker(you will not use it again)

4th- get some female wiring connectors that f the new aftermarket speakers(you can buy them anywhere) and crimp them onto the old wires

5th- plug connectors into new speakers and remount back in factory location

 

Were they component speakers?

 

here is the link I posted concerning speaker replacement for Durangos. It's a long post so read it to the end to know the whole scoop.

how to repair your foam on oem speakers if purchased from simplyspeakers website - https://dodgeforum.com/forum/1st-gen...speaker-5.html

within that post check out these two sites:

Okay, I have found a website that sells nothing but special speaker adapters that let you mount aftermarket speakers to OEM mounting brackets or hole locations.

Also, here is a website that shows you how to replace the oem's with aftermarket speakers on a 2000 Durango.

http://www.craigcentral.com/durango/speakers.asp

To make a note on that website, they said 4 screws as Digitoxin said. However, on my 2000 Durango, there were "5" screws, not 4. If you look at the 4 screw locations marked on the website, the 5th screw not shown in the picture is located very near the power side mirror adjustment ****. This is the same for the passenger door where there is no power side mirror adjustment ****.



I found another website that you can actually repair the speakers if only the polyeuthane surround foam is blown. I would have gone this route if I known earlier that I can repair the surround foam material. I still have my OEM infinity's sitting on my shelf in the garage, I am going to go to that website and buy the replacement foam repair kit to repair my oem infinitys in case I want to take out my nice infinitys and put them in another car!!!!

I bought some 6.5 Boss red cone, CH6520, 2 way's for $9 a piece Walmart ship to store. Poly-something cone and rubber surround - nothing to rot. No mounting 'ears' but could drill to OE ring for screws. Be sure and disconnect upper tweeter if leaving lower tweeter connected for front door. Sound a lot better than the rotted old ones...
