Some of the later models had speakers in the door (6.5 inches) but I don't think your 86 does.

The shock tower opening is actually 8 inches wide, with an adapter in it for either 4" or 6 1/2" speakers, depending on model. If you need one, you can get 6 1/2" adapter kits from crutchfield.com or off of ebay. Or, if you are so inclined you can make your own ghetto solution like I did.

yeah, 4" under the dash and 6.5 in the doors and towers. I work at the roadshop at circuit city and i've also seen factory molds behind the carpet that fit 4x6 behind each seat; that particular appliation was in a s4 coupe. don't forget your system is probably factory amplified so you'll want to do an amp bypass. If you run a 4/5/6 channel up front you can just avoid that mess, and that's what i'd recommend.
