Hey guys im new here and am looking for some advice...
I hav a 99 Im replacing my speakers in the truck and I know im limited on which 6x9 will fit without any mods..
Which ones have you guys used without any problems brand and model # would be helpfull.

Im installing a JVC headunit and alpine (sps13c2) 5.25's in the rear.
Thanks

 

Check out Crutchfield's website. They have a fitment guide that will tell you what 6x9s will fit.

Or you can replace the whole set with 6.5" round speakers, supposedly have less distortion than 6x9s because of their shape.

 

I have already went on crutchfields website and it states that 5.25 are my only option for the front cause of the shallowness of the factory 6x9. I have talked to a couple stereo shops and they say 6x9's crutchfield and polk audios site says 5.25....
What do you have in yours?

 

Most any 6X9 will work in the door Just be careful when you select the speaker. Most of these 6X9 speaker have an over sized grill on them that sticks out from the speaker. Most of the guards can be removed on these speakers. I have Infinity Kappa Perfects (6X9) in my doors with no problem.
You just cant leave the plastic guard on the speaker.

By the way the is not any sound distortion caused by the eliptical design of a 6X9 speaker. Those that tell you otherwise have overpowered their previous setup and that was the cause of the distortion.

Good luck and post what you decide to get

 

I bought a pair of pioneers that did not fit because of the window but i just put some spacers behind were the 6x9 screws in and it works great. Pioneer TS-A6972R - 6"x9" 3-Way

 

Laramie,
what is the model # of the infinitys you have in your truck and how much do they cost?

Ram,
What do you mean by spacers and where do you get them?

 

I ordered some nice pioneers off ebay for about 50 bucks and that's all the sound I am using with my panasonic deck.

Fit right in. Be careful of the magnet size.

 

kowboy,
what model # pioneers were they?

 

Not sure, I threw away the box and dont feel like pulling them out of the door, lol.

I think they were these though:

I know they are 3-way and have a tannish/bronze color.

 

koyboydmac is talking about the same ones as me Pioneer TS-A6972R - 6"x9" 3-Way. And i just used some washers to help clear the wibdow
