Front speaker size??

[High Side]

Looking to replace my front speakers when I do the rear speaker install. Are the front speakers 6.5 inch or6.25 inch? Thanks!!!

According to Crutchfield.com any shallow mount round speaker from 5.25" to 6.75" will fit in the front doors.

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.

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
