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.

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.
