I have a 17 ram and I was looking for a list of kicker 6x9's that would fit. I thought I saw a list before but didn't come across it on the search. I came across this guy locally that has some new kicker 6x9's for the front and rear doors but want to see 1st.

Kickers fit fine in the rear in the front they touch just slightly but not enough where u need to worry about it.

like others said. I put the CS 6x9 in the back doors, and I had to go with the 6.5" for the front due to the depth issue the 6x9 will NOT fit without a 1/4" spacer. Now...had I known this before hand I would have definitely just got a spacer and got 4 of the 6x9....in fact I still might. That being said, Crutchfield for some stupid reason doesn't carry the spacer, so you'll need to get one on ebay or amazon but it's easy to find.

How do they sound compared to factory NON alpine sound?
I have the 8.4 head unit No amp or sub.
Did you change the dash speakers as well?
Thanks for any insight on this

2017 8.4, non Alpine. Last week I installed these in the dash:

for timbre matching, I installed these in the rear doors:

https://www.crutchfield.com/p_206KSC6904/Kicker-44KSC6904.html?tp=105&avf=Y

Flatten out the "EQ", take the audio to center + few clicks towards the rear...and done. I'm very happy with the results. At the moment, I really do not see a reason to swap out the front door speakers.

May I ask why you went with a 2 way 6x9 instead of the CS 3 ways? I put in ALL kicker CS series in my truck recently (wrote a review on the audio page here) 6x9 rear doors, 6.5" front doors, 3.5" dash and I am VERY happy

It sounds perfectly fine. I'm not 100% sure what the specs on the OEM speakers are, but the Kicker components are notably louder and probably have a much higher sensitivity rating. I really do not care much about the sound-stage coming from down by my legs anyway...I let the dash speakers provide the directional highs. The rear 6x9's provide sufficient bass and mid to fill the area.

I may get a wild hair up my rear and replace the front door speakers one day...but for now I'm more than pleased with replacing the 4.

I went with the KS series because I prefer a silk dome tweeter to metal or PEI. They have a softer sound to them and that helps out a ton with typically overly harsh highs in most automotive speakers. The KS speakers also feature neodymium magnets in the tweeters and rubber surrounds vs the foam of the CS/DS series.

When I added the rear 6x9's, I chose to stick with the KS series for proper timbre matching. When comparing the 2 way to the three way...there's not much "3-way" going on there. In the KS series, the mid is a 1" driver, the high is a 3/4". You're not getting much mid from a 1". I feel a 6x9 mated to a 1" will do a better job than putting another false mid in the mix. Hell, my B&W home speakers are a 1" mated to a 6.5" driver and they are amazing.

All in all, this is car audio...so I do not expect a ton for my $160. With that said, I am more than pleased what the notable upgrade I got.
