IT's tuff finding good 6x9's. I would look into a component 6x9 for best results.

The top ones in my mind would be the massive audio CK6.9 and the image dynamics xs69

Give them a try and let us know. But don't let yourself be swayed by the exagerated retail value.

Cadence isn't an expensive brand although they make decent equipement.

WTF? Even with a (puts on sarcasm hat) WHOPPING Double 70oz magnet, that's only 8lbs/ea plus basket, cone, etc. There's no way on God's green earth those things weight 25lbs, even as a pair, unless it's for the set complete with shipping materials. False advertising= run away.
Too much flash to take your cash IMO, but I'm practical. You'd laugh if you saw the magnets on my Bostom 6" mids, but you'd stop once you heard them. Magnet size isn't everything.

You're going to take your brand new truck and cut it for 6x9s? Bad idea.

Find some decent 6x8's. Better yet, leave the stockers in there for now and upgrade to some comps or plates when you add a sub.

I'll start by saying that those cadence speakers will never fit mostly due to the depth. Also, they look like a big pile of flaming .

lol xD - A bit brash but very true; Speakers in the rear of any truck are almost guaranteed to be severely limited by depth; Pull one out and get some dimensions to work with.
