planning to get some new speakers for the front doors. need know know what size they are. hehe thanks.

they are 5 X 7's......just watch which new ones you get...you only have 2 1/2 inchs of good clearance behind the speakers.....

if you go and look in the AUDIO section there is a lot of good information on this very subject....I just performed this mod in both front and back.

PLEASE read what you wrote....and do the math....5 X 7....if they are 5 inches ONE way...and 7 inches the other way....HOW CAN THEY BE ROUND!!! come on!!

you need to be careful with the speaker depth...you only have 2 1/2 inches back clearance in the front doors....but you have 4 inches in the backs.

so put 5 X 7's in the front doors...and 6 or 6 1/2's in the rears.
 
Sorry guy's but I put in Pioneer 6x8 3ways in my front doors about 2 weeks ago and they sound great!!!

yep they fit....he ask what the size of the speakers are in the doors....

the stockers ARE 5 X 7's.....yes 6 X 8's will fit...you will find that most decent ones have both screw patterns in them as 6 X 8's are common replacements for them.

the critical part of replacing speakers in your front doors is the back spacking...as the window rolls down behind the speaker....you can only squeeze a speaker with a back spacing of 2 1/2 inches in there....that is unless you put spacers under it to pull it out of the door some.
 
I have pioneer premier 6 1/2's in the front. They had to buy a special little rack to screw it in, no big deal, or you can even make the rack yourself. I like 6 1/2's better than the other sizes thats why i did it but they fit perfect.
