Swamp, I don’t know the dimensions. But, Retrosound, who make the reproduction radios for our Slicks, also makes a speaker that fits the hole in the dash. Maybe you can find dimensions on their website?

Their R-57N is lower profile, by about 7/8". Might fit easier. That's what I put in mine

I have the D-572UK in my truck, there were no fitment issues due to profile. It handles the relatively low-powered Retrosound radio fine. My motto used to be “ If it doesn’t fracture your skull and make your ears bleed, it ain’t Rock and Roll”. Nowadays I’m happy at lower volume and fidelity. I have a couple additional speakers behind the seat, and I’m satisfied.
Retrosound did at one time have quality control issues. I got a radio that crapped out in short order, couldn’t return it because I’d sat on it too long prior to installing and finding out it was bad. I waited a couple years, bought another, and it’s been fine for a couple years now. I recommend installing immediately and, if bad, send back while still under warranty.
