I am looking into getting this radio from crutchfield ( http://www.crutchfield.com/p_158GT64...ab=other_items ) A few reasons I like this H/U. 1. Price 2. I will finally have a working cd player 3. ipod and thumb drive compatibility 4. I can buy the adapter so i can keep my steering wheel controls.

Thoise that have replaced their door speakers with new ones. What did you go with? Any problems with fits?

 

I would not get it from crutchfield. You can find it cheaper elsewhere. Look HERE

 

I went to an MTX sound show at a local stereo shop and the salesman sold me new mtx door speakers. Went to have them mounted and mounting depth was too much. Had to upgrade to diamond audio. They Fit good & sound excellent.

 

6x9's in the front, and 6.5's in the rear. Everyone's ears are different so see if you can hear the way some sound before you buy em. I chose some pioneer's for the front and some Memphis for the rear. I chose mine based on how they would sound without an amp, since I didnt want to go that route. As far as fitment goes, most 6x9s will plunk right in the doors, if you opt for some fancy ones your gonna have to make sure the depth is right. The rears are made for 5 1/4" speakers, but 6.5 fit right in no prob, although I had to drill one hole for a screw and used two factory holes.

 

Glass- Good find. I didn't see a steering wheel adapter for it in its accessories..Think I'd just have to get it from Crutchfield and radio from sonic?

 

AWE_ thanks for the info. I will probably just go with something "normal" and not super expensive. The guy that had the truck before me had a system in it (amp, subs etc) and a few of the speakers sound like junk.

I have some fuzziness coming from the upper dash speakers? Hard to replace?

 

I have heard a lot of people were never impressed with steering wheel control adapters. I tried to install one on my cousins 05 2500 and couldnt get it figured out. If it has a remote then I would just use that.

 

I really have something in the truck that is suppose to "work" and doesn't...That kind of stuff just bugs me.

 

i went with polk DB's in all doors and dash . best speakers i have had yet .

 

I spent like 30 seconds looking. Crutchfield is usually more expensive than many other places. I would do some searching online and call around to local shops. You can probably find it cheaper and get the adapter from the same place if you look around.
