6x9s in rear pillars, extended cab.

Searched for half an hour, I know I've seen it before on here...where's the thread that I'm searching for?!?
Thanks!

Edit: thank you Google. Buy, I have the 3rd door option which seems to make things harder. What's the difference? Why am I reading that it isn't possible on 3rd door models?

Place them in the gray boxes they sell less work and sound much better just screw them where old speaker were no cutting needed thank me later.

Yeah, pulling the B pillar plastic is usually the beginning of the end for all your interior plastics. Very easy to break things even if you do it in the correct order, which isn't exactly intuitive.

Can you elaborate...?
And I think I'm just going to replace them with more 4x6s instead, then pick up a sub for under the rear seat

I did mine this past October but will not do that again! Next time I will cut the grills and make new grills to cover up the holes. As pointed out you WILL break some of your clips that hold the panels in place.

But if you must: Use at your own risk I take no responsibility for damage you may cause to the parts of your truck!
Remove the rear seat.
Unbolt the shoulder and lap belt for the front seats from each side of the cab.
Remove the rocker panel plates.
Remove the panel from behind the seat. Pull the bottom of the panel out and lift up the top from its clips.
Remove the arm rests from the rear seat side panels.
Look for and remove the screws holding the side panels on. Gently pull on the side panels. They are on two pieces per side. Make sure that all screws are removed.
Pulling the aft portions of the side panels are not easy at the top but don't try to remove the top trim over the rear window for it has a screw hidden behind the aft side panel.
There may be a few things I missed so again use at your own risk!

Yeah, I'm not pulling that trim! I'll cut the grills and make covers somehow. I see why the 3rd door models can't hold 6x9s, that rear pillar is skinnier. Well it may go in but it'll be tight, I didn't measure just had a look. New 6.5s in the front doors today, sure sounds good. Thinking if I cut the grills out I'll try to fit the biggest round speakers possible. I've got these 6.5 covers, wonder if they will cover the entire grill section... Hmm. I'll have to check that out.

I don't have the rear doors but do have the 6x9's ...lot of taking apart stuff and I used spacers to mount the 6x9's so I won't have to cut everything up too much
