[QUOTE=High Side;283923]Looking to replace my front speakers... 6.5 inch or6.25 inch?QUOTE]
Anything from 6.25" to 6.75" will work, but you will probably have to do some cutting and trimming. The only sure way to avoid cutting/trimming is to remove one of the factory speakers and take it with you to the stereo shop. Buy one with the same depth that has screw holes in exactly the same spots.
If you are up for a little more adventure, here some links:
More links can be found by searching "DIY Stereo Installation" on this forum. Do your homework. Many of us have done speaker upgrades, and we're here to help.
FWIW, I put in 6 1/2 in PolkDB651's without any cutting or trimming and mounted them behind the factory grills. The threads mentioned by Florida are great. There's also some helpful panel removal info on FQ101.com
