On my 02 I need to replace the front door speakers. I am not a Audio guy.
I am looking at this speakers,
http://www.crutchfield.com/p_130TSG1643/Pioneer-TS-G1643R.html?tp=105&nvpair=FFSpeaker_Size|6+1/2

What are yalls thoughts on it? I want something cheap, but still sound just as good as the factory ones. Thanks

Anything is going to sound better than the factory speakers. Just depends on how much better you want it to sound and how much you want to spend. Those you found will be much better than the factory speakers.

Ok thanks

The best thing to do for choosing speakers is go to a place like best buy that has speakers on display and listen to them and see what you like

agree with Butch 100%...everyone has different taste, might as well let your ears decide.

Ok guys, I am going with these.
Pioneer TS-G1644R 6-1/2" 2-way car speakers — for 6-1/2" and 6-3/4" openings at Crutchfield.com
I saw this when I added it to the cart.

The factory speakers in this location only produce bass. To get full-range sound from your new speakers, you'll need to replace the factory radio with an aftermarket stereo AND bypass the factory amp.

I already have a after market radio in the truck, so do you think the factory amp is bypassed? And why would the factory amp need to be bypassed anyway?
Thanks

Honestly man if you go to best buy for a little bit extra they can set everything up and you can get a four year warranty (I forgot for how much) but its a hell of a deal, the guy working with me told me at the end of four years i could blow the speakers purposely and theyd hook me up with brand new ones. I did this in my old jeep, replaced the whole system and never had a problem

I listen to every thing but hip hop... I will look at them on best buy.thanks

 

[ol'red02]

[tservice]

Thanks for your help, Will any 6x9 fit?

 

[ol'red02]

Yup any brand 6x9 will fit the front of an 02 1500

 

[tservice]

Nice thanks for all your help.

 

[ol'red02]

No problem, hope it all goes well

 

[tservice]

oh, do I need to bypass the factory amp? Or is it already bypassed since I have a aftermarket hu?

 

[ol'red02]

Honestly im not too sure, someone else may know that specifically. But what i do know is when i was buying my speakers they told me I would not get the full potential of my speakers without and aftermarket HU, so I'm assuming thats what you HU will do with the new speakers. Not 100% though, someone else should chime in

Thanks, I am sure a member here know for sure.

 

[ol'red02]

Awesome! Great place to be

I guess I should state that I do not have the infinity system. IDK if that makes a difference or not.
