Speaking from experience I'd recommend 5.25" components, you might have difficulty putting in anything bigger depending on the depth of the speaker unit (might not go back flush to the door). Also, you might have to get a couple of convertors too to allow for the differing screw holes so you can mount them properly (only 3 holes in a tri pattern on the originals, most speakers will struggle to line up to them). Hope that helps mate.

You can fit 6.5" speakers but you'd have to make wooden rings to fix them to the door and trail fit the door cards back on to get the right shape for the rings and trim a bit of plastic from the rear of the speaker grill on the door car.

Took me about 2 hrs to install mine, sorry don't have any pics on my laptop to show you,
Whilst I was in there I put a bit of sound deading on the outer door skin aswell, increased the mid bass quite well

cheers dan i was looking at 6.5'' components to put in the doors oh n what size are the speakers in the rear panel behind the seats?

Now need to see if my alpine type x 12'' sub fits behind the seats if it dont it will be going up 4sale to buy 2 slimmer 10'' subs as i like my bass low n loud n i know is a small cabin.

I just fitted an entire system sounds great. Two Alpine BBX F1200 Amplifiers (under seats). Channel 1 on each amp Alpine SPG 13CS (13cm) with tweeters in front doors, needed door modifications to fit. Channel 2 on each amp Alpine SPG 13CS (13CM) in B-pillar, went straight in needed drilling new holes only three fixing at present. Channel 3-4 bridged on each amp Was going to put 90W RMS Alpines in Sub boxes, opted for JL Audio (13cm) C2-525X. Probably will change the Sub coaxials for better (woofer type) speakers once I find some 130RMS 13cm, as have to turn channels 3-4 (Subs) right down to allow full clear volume from 6 speaker system. All are 4ohms. Hope that helps people who like a standard look in there motor

6.5" fit in the doors you just need wooden rings but then you do for 5.25" as well

As this 2 came in with 5.25s in

Problem here is the most important thing about speaker fitting is the seal around the speaker so the sound waves from the back cannot get to the front and cancel each other out
Here are my 6.5 rings

crossover positioning as the crossover doesn't want to be far from the woofer as the wire lengths will change the frequencies

You need to trim the back of the plastic behind the speaker grille as well. I cut the grille out for looks

I wouldn't bother with rear speakers they confuse the soundstage,
