anytime you install a true double din radio in one of these, you have to do some minor trimming to get them to fit. it's like a 1/8" on both the top and bottom. the 05+ trucks have a different opening that does not need to be cut.
4wdbeast, they are the reference series. model 6812cf. they are both a 6x8, and 5x7. however, any standard 5x7 will be a direct fit. the spec sheet from infinity shows that this model is "6x8/5x7 2 way." there is no TRUE 6x8 and a different 5x7. these are on there way out because i am running a little more power to them that they are spec'd out for. so, some better ones are on there way.

hmmmm, did you have to trim the dash covering or the dash itself?? because i have a dash cover from an 06 , and the opening is definately larger than mine. but, thats something i didn't know. thanks..

The Dynaudio components use a 7" woofer. Thanks for the compliments on the amp rack, I really like the JL Audio speakers, amps & stealthbox. But the Dyn's blow away everything when it comes to component speakers.
