Default Kicker Speakers

Hey guys, I just got a new head unit, a Kenwood KDC-X395 for my 97 Chevy Blazer 4 door...It's pretty awesome. Now I want to upgrade my speakers cause they sound like **** stock. I went on Crutchfield and they are saying 6.5 and 6.75 speakers will work. I did some research and seems most people us 6.5's for front and rear, correct? Now for the dash speakers, the stock ones are very small and seem like tweeters, but I'm not sure.

Anyhow I found these for the door speakers
Kicker DS60 6-1/2" 2-way car speakers at Crutchfield.com

They say there only for the front door, but don't see why they wouldn't fit the rear aswell. It says "Fits with Bracket"...I hope it works.


When I search for the rear I find these..
Kicker DS65 6-3/4" 2-way car speakers at Crutchfield.com

6.75's it says "Fits with alteration" Do i have to cut out **** or what?

Finally for the dash I found these..
Kicker DS46 4" x 6" 2-way car speakers at Crutchfield.com

4x6's They say they "Fit"


Bottom line is I'm not sure about the depth that I need and if these will work or not. If someone knows please let me know so I can order them tonight and have them by Sat.

Thanks a bunch.

If in doubt, get you some shallow mount speakers. I saw a few on sonicelectronix for a good price.

the kickers will fit no problem. all doors are 6.75 but 6.5 will fit. you dont have to cut anything. I would stay from kickers newer stuff cause its cheaply made. look on sonicelectronix.com they have a good variety

i've got 4x6 kicker ds in dash, and 6.5 in kicker ds in both sets of doors, no real issue fitting them.

cheap or not, they beat the p!ss out of 5 blown stock speakers lol
