Default '96 a4 speaker size question

hey im new to this forum and im just looking for someone whos gone through this before. i dont really want to take the panals off to find the sizes because of the cold weather and lack of a garage. i was wondering if anyone happened to know the dimensions all around? any input is appreciated. thanks

As I recall, the stock Bose speakers came in pretty odd sizes. You're not gonna be able to find direct replacements at best buy or someplace like that. I remember seeing a thread a while back where a guy got OEM replacements dirt cheap from Bose, maybe try contacting them and see what happens?

If you wanna use aftermarket replacements, you're gonna have to do a little bit of fabrication to make them work
