02 2500hd LT crew cab speakers

[camaro69ss_55]

I have read that the speakers in the front and rear doors are 6.5's. I am planning on putting in eclipse SE8365 3 ways in all 4. Any pros or cons? I will be using the factory head unit which is NOT a bose. I was also wondering if eclipses SE8235 3.5" 2 ways would fit where the tweeters are? I plan on putting in an eclipse dvd nav head unit in, in about 6 months.
Thanks, Jeff

I have an 02 ext cab. The front spreakers are 6.5". I can't speak for the rear doors on the crew cab, but I would imagine they are the same size. I am running an infinity reference system (4 door speakers, 10" sub & amp) off the stock head. Sounds great.

The mid-range holes are 6.5" so the Eclipse speakers you mention would, in fact, work. As for the tweeter spaces, you MIGHT be able to get the 3.5"s to work, but it'd be a little tricky. The factory tweeters are mounted to the interior door panel, not the sheet metal of the door. I'm afraid that if you mounted a speaker that puts out mid-range sound to the interior door panel, you might get some rattling of said door panel... you'd be better off cutting a hole in the sheet metal of the actual door to mount those in there.

Personally, I would recommend going with a 6.5" component system (separate mid and high speakers) in the front doors and the 3-ways in the back doors.
