New car audio, Don't think it's 6,5" speakers Options

[Ravnen]

Just got my first car a couple a weeks ago. Black Celica 1.8, 1997. Only problem is that the stereo only plays tapes and the speakers are stock and really lousy. I've decided to buy a new HU and some new speakers. I think i am gonna buy a pair of Rainbow SLX265 Deluxe speakers for the rear and Rainbow SLC265 for the front.

Only problem here is that when i took of the front panel to double check the size of the speakers i found out the speakers only are 13 cm (5.25") and not 16,5 cm (6.5") as mentioned here on the board. That goes for both the front and the rear speakers. Is it still possible to make the speakers fit?

Also, perhaps the Denmark Celica's were different. They do make 5.25" speakers; you could try a set of them and see if they would work.

Speakers are usually sized by the size of the plate they mount on and not the speaker itself, for obvious reasons. It can be a little funny at times.

Is that the front or the rear? Any chance of a bit wider shot so we can see if bracket-wise it is different?
