yeah, i just changed my HU a couple days ago too. man, i didnt know it would make such a huge difference but i need to get on changing my speakers. im not sure my stock ones can handle all that power. i think theyre starting to fry lol. i already have some rockford fosgate 6x9s for the doors that i need to put on. im not sure whether or not to change my rear 5 1/4s since i have a reg cab
I also am getting fosgate 6 x 9s in the front doors.... hmmmm don't tell me you got a Kenwood HU brotha.... haha...
I should get in today. I however did go with crutchfield recomendations and go with 6.5 even though they are 5 1/4 in the rear door...

yup got everything installed just about 30 mins ago
have fosgate 6x9s up front and 6.5 kickers in the back!
so if anyone questions 6.5 do fit in the 5.25 whole you will need to make new drill holes or do something on a "Maverick" level in order to get your tighten

They are the Walmart Pioneers. I don't have the number right off, but they all stock them for about $69.00. They fit fine. Just be sure to use the plastic spacer off of the oem speakers to seal the hole in the door properly.
The bass blocker resistor came with the Infinity speakers in the dash.

I also tried the Infinity Kappa 6x9's in the doors and they would not fit either, so I sent them back to Crutchfield because they showed to fit. I wasn't going to cut up the doors on my 08 RAM to upgrade the speakers.

The kappa's fit in my 02 replacing the old chrysler/infinity crap. Just those 2 speakers changed so far since the original ones were blown. Such a huge improvement.
