4 inch up front, 5.25 in back

A search on here, crutchfield, or best buy's website would have been quicker.

...you can fit 5.25s up front and 6.5s in the rear with a bit of fettling and mounting rings where required for extra depth...

PM Jim Clayton (think that's his name, I'm horrid with names)

he'll sell you a set of rings that will fit in the dash.

Hardest part is pulling out these silly metal rings and cutting away some foam from inside the dash. (depends on the speakers u choose...I went with JL TR series, and they required trimming of foam.)

It is possible to break your windshield while doing this. and those cost just a hair under 1200.00 so keep that in mind when yanking on those metal rings...

If it wasn't for the cramped space it'd be an easy swap...but the space is tight, and so its a bit more aggravating than it needs to be.
