its actually a 6.5 speaker... i know cus i had to do that as well.. do u have the bose system.. or the audi system.. if its audi... i dont suggest it unless u dont mind a little less volume (the radio works kinda crappily with other speakers if there is no goooood amp).... if its the bose.... make sure u get 2 ohm speakrs (i made the mistake of 4).

From most literature I've seen on this, it's actually a 5 1/4"...and no one really makes a 2ohm replacement speaker, so to replace the speakers in the Bose systems the correct way, you should replace the head unit and the amp and run everything at 4ohms.

Yep yep, front speakers are 5 1/4, and they can be a tight fit... stockers are 4" I think. Rears are 6.5's.

Honestly though, ESPECIALLY if you have bose, you don't need to upgrade speakers, just amplify them, and they'll own.

I mean REALLY amplify them.. opposed to the stock factory amp which is a joke. A JL 300/4 is what I'd do, or a JL 450/4 if you've got the cake! The 450/4 is my next and final stereo mod.
