[2003cbgts]

i searched and read quite a few pages of threads about speakers and seemed to get conflicting answers.. i have a st with just the 4 speakers. will 6 1/2 inch work all the way around (front and back)? im about to take advantage of a web offer cc has right now where u buy a set of 6 1/2 and get the second set half off.. so will they fit? also any recommendations on brands before i buy? im gettin just regular 3 way speakers probaly. thanks

yes that is the size of the stock speakers. the fronts need an adapter of some sort because they are kinda bigger. kinda hard to explain. you will understand once you get them out.

i think the backs are some weird size but 6.5 inch speakers work fine anyway, and the fronts are 6.5 inch speakers in an 8 inch hole...i made some ghetto brackets for mine. for brands, i like alpine.

6.5 will work on the back, its a good fit only problem is that most speakers don't have their mounting areas extended outward from the speaker. Instead they are around the rim of the speaker. You'll know what I'm talking about when you put on a 6.5 speaker, you'll notice they fit good but you won't be able to mount them on because they are more farther outwards. Some speakers you can buy like that but it is hard to meet halfway with that kind of speaker and the kind you want.
