Ford Explorer: Speaker sizes

Looks like 6"x8" in both front doors and rear side panels, per
Crutchfield. You could also do 5.25" components, coaxials, or triaxials
(w/adapter), or better yet even midbass's in the doors with components
in the kick panels (w/custom kick panel enclosures). You have many
options and a good starting place, depending on your needs and funds:

Good luck,

My '99 XLT four-door had four 6x8s in it.

If you're going to just replace the speakers, you might be disappointed with
the results. I replaced all four of the factory speakers with Pioneer
tri-axial 6x8s, and they didn't make that much difference.

Get a subwoofer. Even if you don't turn it up loud enough to shake houses
as you drive by, the sound is infinitely better than just replacing the door
speakers.

I now have a 2002 EB, and the subwoofer system in that blows the doors off
the one in the '99.

Steven is right---the Explorer has a lot of options. Use the doors for
midrange and treble, and put a subwoofer under one of the seats or in the
rear side panel.

You have 6x8's all around your truck
