[QUOTE="lawdog, post: 1328920, member: 23064"] Switching 6x9s to 6.5s should not tax any decent installer at all. The main reason to go back with 6.5s is you have so many more options to choose from...many top-line companies don't even make 6x9s. 6x9s have more surface area/move more air, but the ovoid shape does not distribute the forces evenly, like a 6.5 round driver will, and can cause durability issues in upgraded amp situations. I think a 2-way component set is fine for these trucks, but there are some who have gone back with 3ways. That's going to result in a custom housing for the mid-driver (and often the tweeter) to get it out of the footwell, and is probably overkill for all but the most dedicated audio guys. The 2-way Boston Acoustics A100s I bought in 1985 are still some the best sounding loudspeakers I've ever had. But, hey, it's all about what you want. [/QUOTE]
