Man this is an old thread !!! I had hair back them ...
I have a different set up in my car .. ( Speaker grill under the door arm rest )
So I can't comment on the front ( but if I recall correctly that front door card has a 4x6 hole ( there are a lot of options but I assume you are just looking for better ( newer speakers ). I put 7 inch ADS S7's in the rear speaker hole ..
As mentioned earlier in this thread. I had to trim a tad off one side, and in went right in ... So I assume a 6.5 speaker should fit... ? If not, you would have to cut very very little ...
Hope that helps

Edit I just went back and read the whole thread again ... Seems your car is completely different when it comes to the rear as well .. My car had a removable plate and then I just tin snipped a very little and got a 7 inch in there .. from what others have said, you don't have that removable plate so you would have to cut more

Just an update, I purchased 4, 4x6 polk audio speaks and started installing yesterday.... Man what a pain, They are not drop in, I had to trim the door to clear the speaker magnet, No big deal just annoying, But now they stick out about 1/2 inch, so Im gonna hve to come up with some kinda spacer or different grill. Turned into more of a projected then I really wanted but oh well. If anyone knows of any spacers or aftermarket grills that will fit, let me know

I think Crutchfield has them .. I think you can find them in a lot of places ..
Ya know I just did a search ..and they seem to be harder to find than I thought ???
A lot of 6x9 but not 4x6
Found this http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Scosche+...&skuId=7200682
Maybe you can just cut off the extra from the center 9 inch sides and glue in and wrap it with grill cloth ?
There must be a 4x6 out there ???
