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.

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.

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...
