It's a bit hard to believe Crutchfield would claim the only speaker that will fit in a Contour's door is made by Pioneer, particularly considering how many various 5x7/6x8 speakers they offer from other manufacturers.
Either the sales associate misstated the facts or perhaps you misunderstood.
My experience with Crutchfield is they are very knowledgable & professional, thus not prone to the typical sales techniques associated with chain electronics stores, such as pushing a particular brand/model because the "spiff" is higher for example.
Just seems out of character to me.
