Both front and rear speakers are 5-1/4".
Tweeters are 1-1/2" or 2", I forgot.

You'll need speaker adapters for the front door, I recommend getting a set of speaker adapters from Scsoche... part #SAT6. The factory front doors are riveted to door, you'll need the speaker adapter to mount your aftermarket speakers.

Scosche is developing speaker adapters for the rear speakers. I hope this info is useful.

Go to your nearest best buy, wal-mart, circuit city or car audio shop and ask for

Scosche's TA02 harness and your set. Match the colors and plug...

4", 5.25", 6.5" speakers. Although it sounds a lot better if you put the rears in the back door. It fills the cabin great unless you wanna pop open the trunk to showoff your subs but then do what I did...... 4", 2x6.5" front and rear doors, 5.25" in rear and do tweeters in all 4 doors. You wont regret

Well all I did was make a fiberglass circle the size of the speaker, the bottom of magnet to outer rim, covered it in vinyl and the speaker sits inside. just ran the wires thru the door and glued/nail that on top so it just sits on the outside perfectly snug, there is that space were it goes in on the door near the bottom right so I just put it there and noone has hit it yet. I have special edition Infinity speakers that are really thin tho, I know alpine sells a set also or else your gunna have to make a space for the magnet and you don't want a 3" whole. If I ever get a stupid camera that works I can post this ____.

Come on people the stock rear location is great for sq u can hear it fine from back seat. Now as for mounting speakers on rear doors i would love to see pictures.
Because if all u do is make a mount and screw it on that is just what it will look like'
is that really whart u want on ur new car, just asking, me no way if u want speakers in rear door pay some one or do it urself but glass it an recover or paint door.
AND ONCE AGIAN front doors are 6.5 with spacers or a plate mounted to door
if u really want u can put a shallow 8" in door focal 7, kicker has very shallow 6.5 and 8" midbass drivers that would work great. then just do really good 4" and tweeter in dash or kicks with 6.5 or 5.25 would also work out well
