i need to know what size are the speakers in the car

6x8, front and rear doors according to the crutchfield site. Seems to make sense, since Ford and Mazda love to use 5x7 and 6x8 speaks.

can i get a jig to get 5 1/4 or 6 1/1 speakers in that 6x8 speaker spot or do i need to make one

adaptors are available, try future shop's install bay or any other car audio install shop.

Best bet is to make them out of 1/4" abs or plexiglass due to the amount of moisture that we receive here. You can fit a oversize 6.5" in the new mount if you have a pointsource type tweeter or a second tweeter mounting location. Failing that a 5.25" + tweeter on the plate.

^ Excellent advice. Door adaptors should be made from a water resistant material like ABS.

I just did an install just like this in a 06 Mazda 3...

I made adaptors from 1/4" ABS(as Dukk suggested)...

I know they arent the best looking and kinda odd shaped, but they worked perfect...

It takes a small amount of modding to the door mounting to fit the 6.5 in, but nothing 2 secs with a Dremil couldnt fix...

^^^ nice work! I just hate to see huge MDF baffles used in the door, just waiting to rot...

/\/\Thanks Man!!

I am curious why they are octagons and not the shape of the speaker.
