Best Replacement speakers

I was told pioneer but i want to make everyones opinon before i buy. Also do you guys know what size speakers fit the back of the supercabs and the front. thanks

if they are OEM, anything will sound better .. speaker tech has come a long way in recent years (figuring this form is for trucks at least 14 yrs old) with modern materials, plastic cones, mylar tweeters, etc ..

what you got driving them ?

Go to Best Buy or a store and listen to different brands, choose from that. If you aren't going to put an amp or anything in you won't have any worries about longevity. Different brands have their own distinct tones. I did my first system in my old Ram last year (not an audio guy, just wanted to try it) and went with Infinity Kappa's all the way around.

Came down to Infinity's or Alpines on my budget, and though the Infinity's had better highs. Honestly had too good of highs once I got the amp installed, so probably wouldn't use them again with an amp, but definitely on a non amplified set up.

My Truck currently has a walmart 50 dollar radio... However i am going to replace it with a JVC KDR600 Cd player with front usb. The oem speakers are what it has now so i figured it was time to replace them.

I voted for Kenwood its what I usually get. Pioneer stuff is usually well made, durable, and less expensive. I like both of these brands. I can't say I like Alpine. Everything I and my friends have had that was made by Alpine didn't last, although when it worked it did sound great. I don't particularly care for JVC either. If you need a good durable inexpensive deck get Pioneer for that too.

I have pioneer head unit with 6x9 5 ways behind the seats but have 5.5 fusion comp grade splits with a kicker 4 channel amp!
This combo sound great!
Im amazed that sound stream isnt on the list also!
I got a top of the line set of 6 inch splits for my brother inlaws birthday and they are sweet!
Very pricy though!
