I have the 6x9's. Not stellar, but I like them. Beter than the stock speakers.

Yes I work for Kicker.

Our #1 seller is CS.
they are shallow, and will come with mounting hardware, and will drop right in.

I was wondering if those would drop in. I read 2 3/4" of depth and these say they're 3 1/8". Not a big deal if I have to space them...just wasn't sure if I needed to make some spacers prior to starting vs having to stop during the install and make them.

yes they will, the newer 46CS speakers have a shorter tweeter protrusion, they'll fit.

I wasn't even aware of the Mopar ones until after I ordered these. They're also quite a bit more expensive from what I saw for what I assume is basically the same speaker.

Not exactly the same, the Mopar ones have the plug so factory plug and play, the CS are a good notch up.

I'm really curious to see if I find factory speakers behind the doors......it sounds pretty dang good the way it sits. Truck was originally owned by an older fellow that kept it pretty much bone stock. I can't see him doing the speakers but if those are stockers they're some decent sounding stockers. I did the head unit last summer and put 2 100w 6" bass tubes behind the seat. It sounds pretty good right now but speakers were on my want list and wife got them for me as an anniversary present last weekend.

Put speakers in this evening. Truck rocks. Not sure I notice $150 difference though....I felt like it sounded good before. I do notice it stays crisp a little further up on the volume dial. Overall I'm very happy with the stereo....IMO the twin 100 watt bazooka tubes make the whole thing.

Like I say...overall I'm really happy with them. I think it says alot how decent the stockers are really. Without the subs I think a more noticeable difference would've been there just doing the speakers. I'm also debating an amp for those door speakers at some point. I'll keep it like this awhile and see what I think....not sure I need it a ton louder. My ears are still ringing today from dialing it in last night haha

Couple things from speaker install. I thought the stock rears were 6.5" and I still need to measure them but they're definitely bigger than that...I'm thinking 7.25". Also I did have to use something to space those kickers because the cage on the back of the speaker was hitting the opening a bit keeping them from sitting flush. I had some 5/8" foam seal that I used around the opening that worked perfect.
