3rd Gen speaker question

What are the speaker sizes for the doors and rear panels?

Thanx,
Silvio

5 1/2 in front and 5x7 in back for the nonbose. You can fit 6 1/2 in front as long as it's not too deep, ie the magnet isn't too big.

the rear is odd check again it is not 5x7 I think it is 6x8 witch is odd size. Garfinkle put 6x9 in the rear of his 3rd gen with big magnets, in the stock placement. It was a lot of work because of the big magnets. JL Audio was the brand.

The fronts are not 5-1/2, they are officially 6.2". Only Mazda. Like djantlive said, you can fit a shallower 6-1/2 inch.

The rears are not 5x7, they are 6x8. A few companies do make direct replacements for these sizes. Otherwise, you'll have to make a baffle/do some fitting.

I did a how-to page for replacing the rear speakers:
