Please advise the corrrect size of the stock speakers in this vehicle. i am planning on ordering all equipment by the end of the month, now I don't know what speakers fit in the rear deck!

Thanks,

Are you sure you picked the right model? I believe you might have looked at a sedan layout. I'm sure their back deck would easily fit 6.5 speakers. Like many people have said here already - 4x6 is what goes back there.

Yes, I know what you both are talking about sharpeaveo and matt, I had that problem. But there was no way I was going back from stock so I just snipped the corner that was in the way off (the speaker is held in just fine by the 3 remaining screws and it's not interfering with anything, you just have to cut/grind off whatever is in the way to fit them). On mine it was just a corner of plastic bracket with many different holes to fit different layouts of screws. Hope this helps.
