Upgraded mine to Sonys, they always sound better to me.
Looking to install some 6x9s in the rear seat, but will be SOB as Sony does not make them.

I put some Infinity 612M (6 1/2") in the front and I did have to expand the holes a little. I bought a jigsaw, and a blade with the most teeth I could find. Be very careful, as I learned it can certainly jump on you. I ordered some Polk DB521 (5 1/4") for the back that have not arrived yet. Hopefully they will fit out of the box. I am pleased with the Infinity speakers. Do a search on Google shopping - the same speakers will vary greatly in prices, you can find a good deal. And while you might pay a little more at crutchfield at times, in my experience their customer service has been stellar.

When I got mine it had Dual speakers in it. I got rid of those and went with Polk DB521's upfront and and DB691's in the back and couldn't be happier.

I replaced the OEM speakers with the 5.25 Polk MM series and it rocks. I was thinking about going with the 6.5 but I did not want to modify the opening. If you drive the 5.25" Polk's right you don't lose much performance. All 4 of mine are driven by one 4 channel Soundstream Stealth series 500W amp. They fit nicely in the cubby holes on each side of the engine compartment under the hatch. I also lit all 4 speakers up with LEDs for night time mood lighting.
