I ordered a coupla 6.5 rear speakers for my truck (along with a head unit, coupla front speakers, 2 amps and a sub) Now im kinda thinking that the rear speakers are acually 5.25??? Anybody know for sure? and what is that made out of back there? cause if they are 5.25" ill make my 6.5"'s fit

the rear speakers are round. I just replaced mine. I believe they were 4 1/2
maybe 4 ". there is not enough room in there to install a larger speaker without cutting metal!

How about front speaker size?

lews930

front speakers will take oval speakers some where around 5 1/2 by 7 or 6 If you call or go by Best buy or Circuit city, they'll tell you what will fit in the truck. you may be able to do it on their website

uhh, the fronts are 6x9's but im putting 6.5 componets in the front and 6.5 two ways in the rear. a sub in the console and an amp to run the speakers and an amp to run the sub. and i think the rears are 5 1/4.

I just changed mine out last night, the front door speakers are 6"x9", Pioneers bolt right in. The rear speakers in my 95 Are 5 1/2", all info I could find said they were 5 1/4". I got 5 1/4" ones and they almost did not make it to the screws that hold them in.

6.5" speakers wont work without cutting the hole larger. Or using an adapter or spacer plate.

if its possible, ill make em work

There is enough room if you have a sawzall!

I'd use a shear. Get one for cutting left or right and you can cut the metal in a circular direction. Its not that thick. A sawzall will shake the door and you violently when it starts to catch and wiggle the metal!

ah, i was much easier than i expected. all i did was screw the new mounting bracket over the hole from the previous speaker and slid the new one right in.
