What size speakers are in the front door of a 2007 Dodge Ram 1500?

In most 2007 Ram 1500 pickups, the front doors use 6.5-inch speakers (165 mm) in a two‑way coaxial configuration. Exact size can vary by cab style, trim level, and whether the vehicle has the factory premium sound option.


Standard front-door size


The following list covers the typical stock front-door speaker size and related details you should know, especially if you’re upgrading or replacing damaged speakers.



  • Diameter: 6.5 inches (approximately 165 mm)

  • Configuration: commonly a 2‑way coaxial setup (woofer plus integrated tweeter)

  • Installation notes: in most trims, the 6.5" speaker is mounted in the front door panel; some versions may route project-specific tweeters to the A-pillar or dash area depending on the radio/speaker package


The standard 6.5" front-door speaker is widely supported for aftermarket replacements, and most 6.5" speakers will fit with minimal modification. Always verify against your exact cab and trim to ensure proper fitment and clearance.


How to verify the exact size on your truck


To confirm the precise speaker size on your specific vehicle, you can remove the door panel to inspect the mounting opening, consult the factory service manual for your VIN, or check the original equipment specifications in your owner’s manual or window sticker. Measuring the diameter of the existing speaker or the mounting opening will also confirm whether you have the standard 6.5" size or a rare exception.


Summary


For a 2007 Dodge Ram 1500, the front-door speakers are typically 6.5 inches in diameter and configured as a two-way coaxial system. Variations can occur based on cab, trim, and factory sound options, so it’s wise to verify on your specific truck before purchasing replacements or upgrading. When upgrading, choose 6.5" speakers and plan for any mounting brackets or depth considerations as needed.
