Speaker options in a Regular Cab
I have a 1996 Reg Cab with the factory radio and 6.5's in the doors, no 'rear' speakers.
I was wondering if any one has been able to fit a decent system in one of these. I was thinking of quality 6.5 speakers in the stock location in the door, and then some kind of box to hold 6x9's behind the seat. I don't need a sub.
So, I keep finding boxes for 10" and 12" subs, but nothing for 6x9's that will fit.
Suggestions? Pics?

Not to hijack (ok, I guess I kinda am...sorry!), but what would you all recommend for the "best bang for buck" when it comes to factory replacement speakers? I have an aftermarket head unit and I wanna put some good speakers back in the stock location...

I have 3 8's behind my seat. On 2000w and I built the box to contour to the back wall and sit as flush as possible.
I would imagine a single 8 on 200-400w would suffice for the average guy. I did one in my ladys saturn and it is surprisingnly louder than I thought.

I used to compete in stereo comps so I would not be happy with one 8"

They should be 6x8" (well the factory ones were at least). I actually just removed the factory 6x8's and installed an aftermarket pair in my '95 a few weeks ago.
