Stock is 4", but with a little cutting I fit 51/4" upfront and 61/2 in the stock rears. Its not too hard to cut it out.
The Alpine's I used have adjustable tweets for better imaging.

I have 5.25"s up front, and 6x9's in the rear. Lots of cutting and drilling and fabb'ing for that. But it sounds amazing. Still havent tuned it all in and finished it. too many things to do!

Wow..

Did you ever do a lot of work..
I just want one sub in the bin behind my drivers seat and run an amp under the drivers seat..

Mind you I have fours speakers for it - 5x7 JL's but I doubt they are going to fit in the front lower..

I only have two stock front speakers working right now..
Ack!
