Help- how to replace speakers

Hello all, my speakers are blown out in my 1991 F150 Lariat. What size speakers do I need as replacements? I went to Best Buy and they gave us 2 seperate boxes of speakers, 4 speakers total. My truck is a regular cab and only has 2 speakers, why would they give us 4? I dont understand, they looked up the exact model and year in their database and it said that it needs 4 speakers.

More importantly, does anybody have detailed instructions of how to remove the speakers on my truck?

Thanks all, ANY help is appreciated.

I can't help with the detailed instructions on the install but maybe with the speaker quantity. Are you sure you only have 2 speakers? I ask because you might have 2 more speakers mounted up on the rear pillars, that's how my reg cab truck was when I had it. Maybe they aren't hooked up or maybe the fader on the deck is set to front only. I'd check that before returning the other pair of speakers.

I'm not sure if www.the12volt.com has any install instructions but you might try that site. You have to register in order to get into the diagrams and stuff but they won't spam you. In fact, I've never received anything from them since I registered over a year ago.

depending on the month of the year your truck was made it can have either 2 or 4 speakers.

speakers are easy. pull the door panel off , 4 screws hold each speaker in , pull it unhook the leads , then do reverse of that.

beastbuy are tards as are all big box stores.

You have 6.5" speakers in the doors

Pick a pair that sound good to you with the bass/treble etc in the center positions.
