Default Door speaker Question

mine is a 96 V10 ram 2500, and I have a blown speaker that is making me crazy, and believe me that's not a very long drive,
can somebody please tell me what size speakers are in the doors? I haven't taken the door panels off to look and trust me, they were put in in 1996, just like the spark plugs and air filter were

Does your truck have the infinity system? (it would say so on the head unit.)

If it is not the infinity system then you have 6x9's. Can fit 6-1/2" speakers with a kit. Order from Crutchfield. The will give you the wire adapters and speaker plate as part of the purchase for free. I replaced mine in January on my 96. If you want to replace the rears, they are 6-1/2".

You have to watch the depth of the speaker, If you go to deep the window will hit it when you lower it. I had to make a spacer and cut the door panel out for my Pioneer's(6x9) to fit. And it's always a good idea to use
these these
to keep the rain/moisture off them.

I don't think putting Bailey the dog on your door would help.

Link doesn't work for me.

Let's try again, Copy and pate the link. "hyyp://www.amazon.com/XTC-x9-Foam-Baffle-Pair/dp/B0002ZPNY6"
They are called XTC speaker baffles and you can get them from a bunch of places. They also come in lot's of different sizes.

when I measured them I removed the door panel and saw not the back of the speakers but the front I measured top to bottom and got 9" side to side I got 6 1/2"

It's " https:// " Or google search ( XTC speaker baffles 6X9 ) it will be the first result. If I just put the address (no link) it converts it to one but doesn't work.
