I'm looking at Crutchfield, and it says I can fit 5-1/4, 6-1/2, or 6-3/4 speakers in the front doors of my '95 Tacoma. How do I know which is just going to slide into the factory holes nice and smooth?

Also, since I only have 2 speakers, I was wondering if it's possible to bridge the power comming from my head unit to make it something like 50watts RMS x 2?

Is it the one that says "Best pick"?
Because I just realized it says:
     6-1/2" 11 models Best Pick
     6-3/4" 4 models
     5-1/4" 13 models

If it says best pick, that probly the one that would fit the best. Also, you can bridge your HU but only if you are looking for a reason to replace it, because it will definatly fry.

Your truck takes 6.5" speakers, and you have a 2.5" depth to play with.  You should be able to squeeze more depth in there if you make a ring to mount the speaker on.
