The dash speaker holes on Sonoma's from 1992-2005 will take a 4" x 6" speaker if it is the right depth. Pioneer model TS-G4642R is 1 3/4" deep and fits properly, but is a bit expensive.

Because the dash has a crossover installed (a crossover is used to filter out certain frequencies and in this case filters out low- and midrange frequencies), most people will simply want to use a tweeter in this location.

Obtaining used tweeters at a junk yard or from eBay may be the best alternative if you have damaged speakers in this location. Any round speaker smaller than 4" that is no deeper than 1 3/4" should be possible to fit, but will probably require a mounting bracket of some kind for proper fit. Three inch round speakers can clearly be made to fit.

Also keep in mind that the ohm rating on the speaker needs to be close or the same. Most of the factory speaker systems were designed for 8-ohm channels and the front speakers in the doors were 4 ohm and the tweeters in the dash are 4 ohm to make a summed total of 8 ohms. :rolleyes:

Good luck and hope this helps.
