Stereo/Sound System Information

So i updated my factory radio to a Pioneer 64-BT unit. pretty sweet. except within minutes the front speakers blew and the rears on are there last legs. i know the fronts in my 94 are 6.5 inch but ive heard the rears are 5x7's and then i heard there 6x8's..... the brand of speaker i want doesn't offer a 5x7 but they do have a 6x8....... but which is it or are they somehow interchangeable?

Only vehicle I have now with cup holders is the motorhome! lol

F150, and 1999 Buick Century has no cup holders, and both original radios, tapes

The diesel did have a cup holder tho. My dad couldn't live without his morning cup of coffee while driving to work before either. But that thing is coming off fir sure, I really don't need a cup holder, only thing I ever drink in any vehicle is water bottles.



I sure ain't running out of old school tunage any time soon



Now all i'm missing is the base AM only radio of this era
