6x9's in the front and I think 6.5's in the rear. I've been told to leave the rears alone unless their blown and making noise. You can barely hear them and they're a pita to swap out

My regular cab has 6x9's in the doors and 6 1/2's in the rear side panels. The ones in the pillars are just tweeters, dont bother replacin them. Theyre just there to make more of a "surround sound" and make the audio clearer. If you do replace the head unit, Id go with either a kenwood or pioneer. I have the kenwood in my truck and i love it. Sounds so much better than the JVC it had in it when i bought it. Kicker speakers would be your best bet for speakers imo.

Yeah what they said for sizes.

I have Cerwin Vegas in the front, and some Alpines in the back, got rid of the stock infinity crap too (which having the tweeters means you probably got it too, there are amps on the front door speakers), the speakers are run to a Kenwood amp, sounds sooooo much better.

Dave, when your pull the panels you might want to replace the push style clips that hold the panel on. When I did mine I was able to salvage most of them but a few either broke or got deformed while removing, just a heads up for ya, pack of like 100 are no more then 10 bux on eBay!

I just cut mine as you can see, as all those wire head into a door plug and was being ********. I ran new wires from a 4-channel amp. I got the amp cheap from the bro in law.
