You have the basic non amplified stereo. Tweeters in the pillars, 6.5" woofers in the front door, 5.5" coax in the rear doors.

Some sources they sound OK - but I see me replacing them sooner rather than later... would you happen to know if they are 2 or 4 ohm by chance?

Thanks for the info!

So far I have upgraded my pillar's, center dash, and front doors.

What a difference just speakers alone in the front sound stage has done. The highs are noticeably clearer and the bass response seems to be tighter and accurate. I have the exact same truck package as you. I am now trying to decide if I want to put a better 6.5 coax in the rear doors, or go with mid-woofers in the rear doors. The improvement on the highs on in the front stage alone has me leaning towards mid-woofers in the rears, because once I amp this thing I should get a significant improvement in clarity and bass response over factory set up.

What drivers did you end up going with if you don't mind me asking...

Thanks for the info Caldwell54! Did you have to do much fabrication to get them to fit or were they pretty much plug-n-play?
