i want to put 4 of theses in my truck 1 in each door and was wondering how challenging it is to swap with the factory speakers?

Not hard at all, I'd say removing the door panels was the challenging part. I used the metra adapters for the speakers so that I didn't have to cut any wires.

Depends on your truck. I did not have any problems simply swapping them right into the factory holes. As long as your factory speaker hole will accept 6x9. Also, the speakers came with the wiring, so I just cut off the ends of the factory wires and spliced right in. I used the plumbers/electrical molding type tape. The stretchy kind because it really sticks to itself and forms an almost permanent seal, unlike regular electrician tape which falls off after a short time. They sound great too. I am running WITHOUT a separate AMP. Just the Pioneer head unit. Hope this helps. Paul G.

I was able to use some epoxy to hold them to the stock location. You will need to cut the original wire harness and splice the wires together, but it is not hard if you have some experience with speaker wiring.

GO to crutchfield.com and put in your vehicle information it will tell you what fits exactly in your truck.That is what I did with my car and bought the speakers here on amazon much cheaper.

First you have to find a suitable place to mount the crossover. I mounted them inside the door panels using 2 sided tape. Whether your using an amp or the head unit the speaker wires coming from the source(amp or head unit) get connected to the input + & - on the crossover. Then you run the wires from the + & - woofer terminals on the crossover to the + & - terminals on the driver(woofer). Finally you run the wires from/the + & - tweeter terminals on the croosover to the + & - wires on your tweeters. It's pretty straightforward once you find a good mounting location for the crossovers. If you are somewhat mechanically inclined & patient you should be alright.

If this helps, I had these installed in a 2013 Dodge Durango in the front doors, and they brit and sound great! Fantastic upgrade over the Factory speakers.

Very easy installation, the hardest part is removing the door/speaker trim from the car. I would suggest purchasing the available connection cables so you do not have to cut the facory correctors off and possibily getting the speakers out of phase with other. These are available on Ebay at a inexpensive price.

Of course they will fit in the opening but you would probably need an adapter ring or if you are handy with installs could probably make one out of MDF or plywood. Question is why would you? First off these are Marine apeakers. Unless you are concerned about water in your door, probably not needed.They do sound great. I suggest that you opt for 6 1/2" application.Polk has an outstanding lineup for the car/truck where weather is not a concern. If you already have them you can make them work! Where there's a will, there's a way!

I have seen them mounted in a truck and a car. Wiring is the same. Placement is up to you. They are LOUD.

As long as you don't plan on Bi-wiring them, yes it shouldn't be an issue. Keep in mind for better results you should just save up for floor standing right and left speakers. Otherwise I recommend paying the same price for left and right channel speakers.

My car had tweeters in the front doors already so it was easy to replace them with the new set as they were the same size. But I bought Two sets of these speakers one for the front and one set for the back doors the woofers fit both the front and the back. the back doors I chose to drill holes for mounting the tweeters which for my car was easy to do because the door skins are plastic and had a good flat area to mount them. They also come with hardware to surface mount them as well but you would have to figure out the best way to run the wire. The tweeter wires get connected to the larger speaker. By the way these speakers sound great. I replaced the stereo as well with a JVC unit.

From what I've found so far Lloyd is correct. They should fit in the doors with the adapters but I can't find info on the rest of the speakers in that vehicle. Before I start buying speakers I would physically confirm the sizes of the original speakers and the methods used to mount them. Some cars can be very tricky to work with when doing upgrades and I know nothing about that model. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.Update:I just found this size list on the Sonic Electronix website. I hope it helps you some. Front: 4", 6-1/2" Rear: 6-1/2", 4" Dash: 4" Front door: 6-1/2" Back door: 6-1/2" Rear side panel: 4" From what I've found so far Lloyd is correct.

You have to find out the dimensions of the stock speakers. They will work and sound great, just not sure about if they will actually fit in your doors.

Yes they are super easy swap but don't expect too much unless you upgrade to a amplifier. They need more power than the factory radio

No this is only if you are replacing the stereo deck (cd player) the speakers in that particular truck are wired in with a specific harness. Simply cut the speaker wires at the speaker and strip about half inch on both. Then hook up the new speaker.

It's definitely not going to take the place of 2 12" speakers. I run 4 of these speakers only powered by my kenwood 4x50w head unit. I do have an 8" infinity sub in the trunk. And it's fantastic! When the sub is turned off it's a very noticeable drop in bass. They may be better powered by a dedicated amp, i would be interested to see how that works as i've been thinking of getting another amp.

yes, your factory radio has a built in cross over. Try it and if you dont like the sound, then install the cross over that came with the speakers. I personally would never do that. "you should use the cross over that come with your speakers."
