i think the stock ones are 5 1/4" but with a little moding i put oversize 6 1/2"s in my door. what are you getting coaxles or components?

stocks are 6 1/2" all around front and rear, i have replaced them with 6 1/2" all around and only the back needed to be modded because the magnets were too big to fit

my cdt's would not fit in the hole in the door at all. i had to mount them on a 3/4" ring for width and depth clearence.

Many front drivers will need a ring to make them clear, then you need to look at other issues, likely you will need to carefuly knock down the ring inside the door card, no biggie. I also found that moving the driver forward and down in the door allowed it to clear the area of the door-card where it narrows at full excursion.

I run a Seas 7" that is not shallow by any means, I'm using about 1" of ring moved forward and down and I have about 1/4" of clearance to the rear fo the driver and a bit less than that at full driver excursion.

I used orion 5 1/4" component set. Speaker cleared perfect without a ring and tweeter fit great with a lil help from the rotozip. In the rear i have 6 1/2" power bass mid drivers.
