Questions on what to get, and suggestions.

[HardTech]

Well ive been poking around. Desided the speakers will get replaced first. The thing is I want to do it right, I dont want to end up regreting this in the long run. Money being tight and all, I want good bang for my buck. Just so you know, these now speakers will be connected to a stock 95 xlt w/ 6 disk cd changer.

Now i was told the speaker size was 6 x 8. I assume this is true. If so how hard would it be to fit a 6 x 9 speaker? And how much modification will be needed?

First of all im looking at two products from alpine.

Model: SPR-69LP
http://iweb.alpine-usa.com/pls/admn...69LP&p_category=80&p_subcategory=90&p_main=10

And

Model: SPS-690A
http://iweb.alpine-usa.com/pls/admn...90A&p_category=80&p_subcategory=104&p_main=10

So the quest is what one is better? I know the SPS-690A is cheaper and I can get 2 sets for $140. But I can get the SPR-69LP (2 sets) for $170. So its 30 bucks and some change in difference. So in the long hual its not to noticeable.

And also I noticed two things though. the Mounting Depth

For the SPR-69LP:
Mounting Depth (mm) : 79.4mm

For the SPS-690A:
Mounting Depth (mm) : 82.55mm

This will be in a stock truck, so no modifiying of the panels. Well both of these fit?

These are what I was suggested from the Bestbuy supply of speakers. I have to stick with Best Buy due to employee discount

If there is another speaker sold at Best Buy that would be better, let me know. I would perfer to save money, but I have heard alpine is pretty damn good. Also do i need the mounting kit or what? I know the sell them but its 7 bucks (best buy online) and im not sure if its needed.

I look forward to the responces. I hope I can pull the money togather soon. I think I have a stock speaker that has riped or is ripping and its annoying!

Also besides buying the speakers, is there anything you could suggest that is cheap that would be helpfull? Are the stock speaker wire good stuff. Now granted im useing the stock head unit, but I do plan to replace that in a year or so. Any comments or suggestions is welcomed. Feel free to pick apart my ideas. Im new in this feild, so the more i know the better

Well i guess it doesnt have to be located at best buy only, if this is what is keeping people from posting here. I just think that with an employee discount i should be able to find a better deal.

OMG... it happened again in here... im 2 for 2 on talking to my self in my own threads.

Well after much bashing in heads in a another forum, I was able to figure out what speakers would be good to buy. I had alot of help from friends online.

Anyways, I have not asked them yet, but I hope I dont need to. Can anyone suggest models of head units that work with the stock cd-changer. Is it a standard connecton or what? I know ford does goofy things some times, but this I would assume would be a standard thing.

Well I look forward to an answer. Please dont let me down guys/gals. I really dont want to bash heads in non ford related forums because well, it takes a long time to get an answer, and some times it differs.

I look forward to your answers.

It might be possible to get 6x9's to fit, but it will take a bit of modification. As per your headunit question...as far as I know, I am not sure of any headunits that will work with the stock Ford CD Changer. I am pretty sure that it has been discussed before and they said that no aftermarket unit will work with the stock unit...don't quote me 100% on it, but I am pretty sure that is what I have read. Hope this helps man.
