6x9's under the dash to replace 4 inchers

Does anyone know if it is possible to squeeze a 6x9 where the stock size 4 inch speaker goes under the dash in an 89-95 pickup?? I want my stereo to be a little louder, and I already have 6 inchers in my doors. I was just curious, thanks for the help.

IIRC i dont think they'll fit, at least not without a lot of work.

I don't seem to have it bookmarked... but there is a company out there that makes replacement kick panels next to your feet and allows you to add another speaker there. Can't remember the size, maybe 5".

6x9 are lame, go with a better quality 6 1/2, sound quality and volume with the 6 1/2's would be much better from the installer point of view. that being said, no way you can fit them into the dash and look nice at all lol. good luck

Here you go... hope you have some small feet.

I am sure they are similiar models available elsewhere, but this gives you something to go on.

You are trying to cram a 9" speaker where there is barely space for a 4" speaker? You might be able to do it custom, but it would look terrible. Not something worth trying IMHO

Thanks for all the replies, I have seen those kick panels replacements before, but like you said, I would have to have small feet, which I don't so thats out of the question. I knew it would be difficult to do, but I was just wondering if anyone had done it.
