What kind of money are you looking to spend?

I believe you have 4 5x7 speakers in your truck.

They are 5x7/6x8 all around. Yeah, like mentioned above it kinda depends on how much money your looking to spend. If your wanting something cheap & sounds good. Alpine & pioneer are alright for the money & easy to get ahold of. Kicker, Polk, Infinity, Eclipse & some others are kinda pricey & then theres the others that are just WAY to much. Search on ebay & you will find prices you CAN NOT & WILL NOT beat at any local store!!!

Hope that was of some help!

Very good place to begin looking. Most of the speakers have a few reviews. One thing to remember. U get what ya pay for. But in the speaker dept, there are sometimes diamonds in the rough. Best way to get the most out of your speakers is to ad a mild amp and a mid size sub. Really brings out the best in your speakers. Remember it's not a good idea to mix speaker brands. Stick with one brand in all 4 corners. Brand is sub is not all that important.

Hope this helps, I replaced mine with Infinity 5x8's. They sound fantastic and not to expensive. Crutchfield.com has a good selection, I bought mine buy one get the second half price. Total 150, free shipping and very detailed instructions for the install.

Put Alpine component speakers in mine. Sound is much better than the all in one speakers. Fronts were easy, rears on a crew cab were a bit of a fight to get to.

Ebay has been hit or miss for me. Bought a sub amp that was supposed to be new, what I got was used and burned out. Later, got a 4 ch JL Audio amp, used. It worked, but arrived with cable pigtails still on the amp, freshly cut. Looks like midnight auto supply. I did get a bargain on a stealthbox subwoofer, though.

If you are gonna replace your door or cab speakers, I'd highly recommend some XTC foam speaker baffles. I think I paid $25 shipped for all 4 of mine off ebay.
