They are 6x8 actually. You *can* get a 6x9 to fit but you'll need to make an adapter/spacer. There are plenty of very good 6x8s out there; pioneer, infinity, polk, kicker... lots of options.

Hijacking... If my truck came with the factory option premium stereo, with the 6 disk changer, are some speakers I pick up from Best Buy going to be better than what I have? I would like a deeper bass, but I don't know if a subwoofer would be a better option?
Thanks

I do not feed low frequencies through my door speakers. In fact I have bass blockers on them! If you want deeper bass, Id go with a sub.

For even better sound you can replace all your speaker wire as well.

If you want bass, get a sub. As for upgrading, yes, Best Buy will have better speakers than what you have. Your factory "premium" stereo probably has paper cones whereas the newer ones will have better materials. Even if your speakers have something besides paper, your speakers are 6+ years old so even a reasonably priced set of 6x8 speakers from a good brand (i.e. Alpine, Kenwood, Polk, Pioneer, etc.) will sound better due to 6 years of technological improvements and all the parts are new.
For even better sound you can replace all your speaker wire as well.

I ran new wires in my Mustang a few weeks ago. Its not hard and it makes it easier to run an amp to them in the long run.

Seems like I could fit this under my rear seat (supercab). But, is it ok to lay it down flat, so the speakers are pointing up? If I can find a cheap one on ebay or something, I might get it.
