My 23 alpine has 6x9 factory in the doors. Crutchfield should show 6x9 as well.
You are correct. Had to scroll down a bit to get to the 6X9s. I'm assuming that 6X9 would be preferrable simple because they are bigger than the 6.5".
How did you run the dual 10” subs?
I believe the audiophiles would go for the 6.5" speakers. You can get some good advice at diymobileaudio.com, there are some ram owners who can advice you, along with this forum on what is best for the soundstage you are going for and what you want to spend. I learned a lot from this forum.
Amps under the front seats along with the 5 farad capacitor.
Well 6x9's have more surface area and volume which is a plus when comparing speakers. However, there just are not many manufacturers that put a lot of effort in producing high quality 6x9's anymore. 6.5 is really the way to go. There are many more speaker options to choose from. Simple 6x9 to 6.5" adapters are super easy to install.
Just put in some Infinity Ref 6x9s in the front door and what an improvement! The front speakers are tuned for bass in the 9-speaker system so going with a 6x9 made more sense than a 6.5.
I agree its the only real difference that you will notice. Save your money the door speakers will not give much improvement . For a improvement thats worth you time and money you will need to bypass stock amp and add four channel amp for doors and mono block amp for woofer you can get all the harnesses to achieve this at Crutchfield or net audio. I did change my speakers dash with jbl gx328 3.5 2 way speakers also rear headliner in the doors I put jbl gx9638 6x9 speakers the alpine system doesn't push them enough the dash yes high highs had to turn down plus a little extra mid bass. The doors gave a little boost I can at least hear them now. But a little lackluster. With amp huge difference trust me . And by the way you mentioned jbl club 3.5 I would go with the GX series There are better speaker than the improvements over the club they hit harder the better highs. And fit perfect in my 2024 ram rebel as did the 6x9 hopev this helps.

What do you mean by R &R?
Dash speakers are super easy. Door speakers are more difficult since you have to take the door panel off, disconnect the door handle cable. I've replaced all 9 speakers, adding sound reducing material.
I had originally went with Kenwood and then redid them with CDT audio wide bands and clarity is much better. I have tried finding a shop to install Helix Ultra DSP/amp but so far no go. I did get the packs cable.
