2003 SD crew Cab speakers?

I was wondering if anyone knows how much depth there is to work with in the rear speakers.

F-250 4x2 supercrew shortbed V-10 auto.

also, will 6x9's fit in either the front or rear?

I don't think you can work 6x9's into your truck. The openings are for 6x8 (some manufacturers call it 5x7 as well) for front and backs. You could also swing 5 1/4 components, with a mounting plate.

Not sure about the depth. I went out to Crutchfield.com and got a list of speakers that should fit. I think you have a very deep recess since their website lists just about every 6x8 out there.

My installer told me to install 6x9's. I declined and went with 6x8's. He told me they would fit, and I didn't want some Mickey Mouse hack job. After the install I was very happy with my choice.

Mine suggested the same. The 5x7 or 6x8 will sound great, just get a good speaker.

Those speakers will come alive when you amp them. Total difference. Good luck. Hey, if you replaced all 4 stockers may I suggest a Fosgate amp like I installed. Its a 4 channel 301 and I think it's 65x4 and it jams. Under $125 online. I have had nothing but good results out of mine. Others will have there favorites as well. My 2 pennies...

Memphis, Rockford, Alpine, Kenwood, Lanzar ... all decent amps some a bit more pricey than others, but IMO all very good choices. My 6x8's jam I've got 600 watts running to the four, sounds great for only having 4 speakers. Good Luck.
