They fit great. Every one has had 1-6" of extra length which is nice. The back side doors close perfectly with the new seals. The front doors need a little bit of force but they'll break in over time. The back door seals were pretty stiff too but 4 days later they work great.

My wife is up in MN visiting family right now so I texted her and said "I wanna be upfront and honest with you, I'm having lunch with an old girlfriend today." she called me and seemed a little concerned but not mad yet. So I told her "yeah we first met when I was like 13yrs old, we were good friends for a long time and dated for a while but that was years ago, we're just getting some pizza, it's no big deal.". My wife is not the jealous type so she let it slide but I could tell she was kinda worried about it. So then I sent her this photo, LOL!!!!

Thats freekin fantastic! Lol:haha:
 
I ****ing hate interior work!! hate hate hate hate multiplied by cubic hate!!!!!

door seals are done, dash speakers are replaced with new Kenwood 3.5s, gauges are all cleaned up and shiny, new door strap covers installed, all the trim is reinstalled and the a-pillar that i glued back together is holding great. i poked a new hole in the headliner above the driver's door and broke the one a-pillar but glued that back together. not too bad but i still hate interior work.

no i haven't, i don't have a battery for the truck. i think i'll replace the 4x10s in the back too. might as well, theyre cheap enough.
 
Long time ago i found eclipse 4x10s for my truck and they really were a waste. If i replace them in mu sub im doing something else.
 
Thanks, I really took my time with the interior, I just imagined every panel as a dollar amount rather than a piece of plastic, lol!

I was wondering about aftermarket 4x10s. I've heard more bad than good about 4x10 speakers in general, the shape just doesn't perform well. I wonder if I could open up the sock speaker hole enough to put two 6" round speakers on each side, hmmm.

You have to remember, these are rear speakers, behind the rear seats. For the driver/passenger, these are just rear fill.

If i were you, i'd cut a plastic panel to cover the stock hole, and put a decent set of 6.5's back there and call it good. If you were going to add amps, sub, etc, i'd say get a pair of components and run some good power to them, but that doesn't look like the direction you are going.

Don't think there is much benefit to 2 6.5's on each side. You'd be better of finding a way to mount 6.5's in teh doors, which is doable, but difficult.

I tried to add 6.5's to my front doors, but cut the wrong place. Have them sitting on a shelf, but more than happy with how it sounds with some nice infitinies in teh dash, 6x9's in teh rear, and a 12" sub.
 
That sounds good to me, I have no intention of dumping a lot of $$ into stereo ****. Just better than stock speakers is fine with me. Maybe someday an amp and a sub. I think it'd be cool to build a box that mounts in the spare tire hole and can be covered with the stock spare tire cover. Being 31" you could put an amp and a sub in that one unit and have it bolt to the cab wall with the stock bolt hole.

If you aren't going to amp them, buy lower price speakers. I like the pioneer 6.5's in their mid range series.

The higher price one, that can handle more power, aren't as efficient, and won't play that great on head unit power.

Alright, thanks man!
 
Just look at the sensitivity when checking the specs on your speakers. Alot of high powerhandling expensive speakers are MORE sensitive. Anything over 92db for a rating will be good. 94 or more is best though. My best setup had infinity kappas running off just a kenwood deck. They kept up fine with my 2000w highcurrent amp and 2 15's.
 
****. it's looking like my 5.3L might not happen, not any time soon anyway. :mad1:
 
sorry to hear that Scott, I was looking forward to that happening.
