Speaker Sizes for 94 XLT
Started stereo shopping tonight and was told conflicting info on the speaker sizes. First place told me 5x7s FRT and 6x8s Rear. Second place told me 6 1/2 rounds in FRT and 6x8s rear. Anyone know for sure? Like to have my choices researched before I scatter my interior panels all over the garage.
Also, can 6x9s be installed in the rear stock location without too much surgery? It really opens up the options if I can.

6.5" front, 6x8 rears. You will need a dremel to make a 6x9 fit. Pioneer makes some great 6x8s. Check out www.sounddomain.com for some choices.

My 82 has 6x8" in the rear and 6-1/2" in the doors.
There all pioneer, and I re did all the speaker wires cause the stock wiring had the grounds tied into 1.
It runs off a JVC cd deck and sounds great.
The 6x9 are cool too, they have a little bit more bump, but I did'nt feel like cutting anything.

Thanks for the quick replies guys. I listened to the 6x8 Pioneers tonight. They do sound very clean for the price. They are lots better than most comparably priced speakers. I found some Alpine 6x9s with more bump. But they were real spendy.
If I decide to go 6x9s, will all the surgery be concealed when I'm done? I don't mind cutting inside, but I'll go with the Pioneers if it won't look good when I'm done.
