Will these Polk tweeters fit in or over my OEM stock tweeters? How difficult is it to change out the OEMs?

DB1001 fit and sounds great on my RX330. I used the original bracket, but cut and solder OEM spk connectors onto DB1001. It is difficult to answer your question without having experience other than Lexus RX330. The Polk shipped 3 different mounting blackets along with DB1001 would probably fit most cars.

The speakers do not have a crossover for the tweeters, the tweeters have a built in resistor to filter out bass. When I hooked these up in my Honda, I used the existing wiring, which had separate wires already in place for the tweeters on the top of the dash so that's how I wired these up. As I recall though, you can run the tweeters right from the speakers without any crossovers. That's partly why I bought this series. I like the good, clear sound coming from these. Huge improvement over stock.

Speaker depth was an issue, these have a huge magnet... Also you may have to drill custom holes for the tweeters.

They will work very well. I used them as such and they worked out well. Polk makes a great bang for the buck speaker. You will not be dissapointed. Just make sure you get the matching center channel.

The tweeter sticks up a little bit, maybe 1/4 of an inch. I have them in my dash and they fit perfectly, and it is tight under there.

Only inline capacitors on the tweeters. Exactly like OEM 2007 Chevy 1500 stock speakers setup.

These are of good quality, they come as a pair two woofers and two tweeters. They would not be a competition set of speakers but are great to replace stock speakers

Of course they will fit in the opening but you would probably need an adapter ring or if you are handy with installs could probably make one out of MDF or plywood. Question is why would you? First off these are Marine apeakers. Unless you are concerned about water in your door, probably not needed.They do sound great. I suggest that you opt for 6 1/2" application.Polk has an outstanding lineup for the car/truck where weather is not a concern. If you already have them you can make them work! Where there's a will, there's a way!

"Fit" or "fitment" simply refers to whether or not it will fit in your speaker locations... If your OEM speakers are 6.5 inch then you would want to go with a 6.5 inch replacement... Other wise there maybe some customizing in order for the new speakers to fit the OEM location...

According to crutchfield 6.5" speakers should fit fine. These speakers might need a little modification when installing the tweeters. The tweeters are a bit rounder and has more thickness. Just a little modification would be needed if your car already came with separate tweeters up front.

There are two ways you can check this ... take a look at the connector and compare the the one you know about, and to check this in a service manual with that kind of detail. The tweeter assembly part information should provide a graphic so you can check this. Pretend you are going to replace your tweeters with stock pieces and you will find the information you need.

Yup, must trim the extra material from the inside radius and use the plastic support from the old ones. These weren't meant to fit the originals though, I simply made em work. To get the triplet OE1 replacements you're supposed to call Bose. Due to planned obsolescence, we were meant to buy the newer, flatter sounding model. Cheers!

yes they are tight but go in ,the door panel does press against the tweeter but has not caused any problems just be careful when reinstalling it ,no other clearance problems and no metal alterations,be sure to use the adapter harness for speaker wire it a lot easier than the old way of cut and splice

You have to find out the dimensions of the stock speakers. They will work and sound great, just not sure about if they will actually fit in your doors.

I would say no, unless you have factory speakers there already that you can take out to put these in their place. These are amazing tweeters especially if you have the matching door speakers to pear up with them like I do.

Installed mine in the exact same truck. Fits like a glove unless your name is OJ... Ps: if you're keeping the stock sub woofer, you'll get a nasty power up "thump" unless you wire in a 1k ohm resistor on the amp turn on output from your aftermarket deck. The stock amplifier only accepts about 5 volts, any more and it "pops" through the sub. The resistor drops the 12 volts your deck puts out to the proper 5 or so.
