ok so i have a set of brand new 6x9 speakers that i would like to put in my truck. I believe that there are 6.5's and 5.25's in the truck currently. It's a '01 club cab. Does anyone know how much work it would take to put them in either the front or back, which ever is easier?

 

Your not going to be able to put them in the back where the 5.25 holes are but you can put them in the front doors if you cut the 6.5 holes out to a 6 by 9. Just use the 6 by 9 template and get a jig saw. It would take you about 3 hours if you do an outstanding job.

 

you will just have to cut the holes bigger for the speaker to fit into. but they should fit in the back no problem.

 

watch for large magnets on 6x9 speaker you don't want them close to the sheet metal. Question on mine 98 what size is in the rear? 5 1/4 or 6 1/2

 

you have 5.25 in the rear. I would be skeptical about cutting holes there, you might run out of room. Besides the rear speakers dont do much good when they are down and behind the seat, they should have made them up higher but oh well.

 

my rear ones are 5.25. and my speakers are just below my side window. there not down beside the seat at all. do you have a reg. cab Erich

 

thanks for the replies, i think i might see if i can snag a new set of 5.25's from work for a good price, and rip apart the rear when i get some time, and then see if the 6x9's will fit fairly simple. if not i'll throw the 5.25's in while it's apart and be done with it. I'd like to get the mtx thunderform but that'll have to wait until my cashflow increases. But i think i want to add the flowmaster on first, i have a weakness for a nice sounding exhaust, it's music to my ears!

 

thanks 5.25 is what i will have to get. One of mine dont work and its time to take the bacl of the truck apart.

 

jonnymagnum Yes your right i have std. cab and forgot all about that. Your lucky in where yours are placed.

Speaking of flowmaster i have a 40 series single out and it sounds awesome. Its much louder on the outside then the inside unlike some previous mufflers ive had.

 

how hard was it to install the 40 with the single out? was it much fabrication or did it fit close to stock?
