Crutchfield said these speakers will not fit my Dakota front door speaker bay. I have known Crutchfield to be incorrect; many times, in my experience, when they say something will not fit, it does indeed fit.

Crutchfield isn't very helpful either. They won't tell me why it won't fit, they just tell me there is no way, we suggest against you purchasing this item.

Please only respond if you know what you are talking about. It won't help me if you say get another set of speakers or 6.5" bay 6.5" speakers of course they will fit, etc. Members who have experience or know what they are talking about, I thank you in advance and appreciate any input that you may share.
well, technically 6.75" bay.
