Default Dash Speakers/Front Door Speakers for 1997 Chevrolet S-10 Blazer

I'm looking to replace some factory speakers in my 1997 Chevy S-10
Blazer. I know the dimensions of the speakers a

Dash: 4"x6"
Front Door: 6-1/2"
Rear Door: 6-1/2"

However, if I even HAVE dash speakers, they don't work. The S-10
pickup has the same "front-end" as the Blazer, so I'm thinking that
the dash speakers are only used in a pickup configuration. In that
case, the dash speakers are the fronts, and the front door speakers
become the rears. As I have four doors, I only use the front door and
rear door speakers, and not the dash.

If I were to put some 4x6s in the dash, would my stock POS radio be
able to support 6 speakers? Would a NEW radio be able to support 6?
Lastly, what do I buy if I can't find 6-1/2" circles?

Thanks in advance!

You could do it, but it would sound like ass. Two good sets of 6.5s (coaxes
or components) will sound awesome.

I agree.

Although the dash cutouts are 4x6, the location is reserved for tweeter
location in vehicles with upgraded audio packages (like the Bravada) that
have 6-1/2" separates in the front. These vehicles will have wiring in the
dash location and a tweeter in a 4x6 plate aimed toward the windshield. In
vehicles that DON'T have the tweeters from the factory, there are no wires
in the cavities...

Hope this helps...

Oh yeah - I have a supplier that has the 4x6 plate tweeters available new!
They're OEM and available left and right (of course)...

Does the stock radio I have now (but may be replacing soon) support
these tweeters?

Sure. The tweeters have crossovers built-in. If your vehicle doesn't have
the wires in the dash cavities, you'll have to run an additional set from
the radio (or kick panels!) to the dash locations.
