Check WWW.crutchfield.com. They have the speakers and a fit guide. I am pretty sure that they are 3.5's though.

they are 3.5", i'd reccomend either Infinty or Pioneer for vehicle speakers, i have infinity 3.5s in the dash and Pioneer 6"s in the doors and 6x9's in the rear, (had to modify the existing 5x7" holes) my system really screams though

Get a component system with cross-overs. I have a sony component system, which sucks, but I plan on getting a Kenwood because all my other speakers are Kenwood.

Kicker makes a good 3 1/2" for the dash. I have them in there and they were a perfect fit. I've heard the Kenwood speakers, and to be honest, get the Pioneers or the Kickers.

yah Kicker speakers are great too, i havent heard much good stuff on the Kenwood speakers though, but i know their head units are awesome

In my opinion,I had the 3.5 speakers in the dash of my Cougar and I think they blow. I even put in some sonys but just made clear sounding speakers that blow http://www.mustangworks.com/interact...oard/smile.gif better off just running new wires to the doors and installing 6 1/2 pioneers or some other good brand.

Really, dont waste your money on a component set. Get a separate amp that has a crossover built in to run the six speakers and another amp for subs. Actually, I put in some nice 3 1/2s in and really, they not as important as the 6 1/2s. I also put in some speakers in the back, they're good too. Just watch the volume if you have some performance pullies, the subs really drain my battary. I'm thinking about putting in some 8s and taking out my 12s cuz I cant play it loud anyways and I might as well save some weight.

Oh yeah, careful when picking speakers. The magnets may be too big and you'd have to get spacers or find a way to make them fit.

For the front I use pioneer and for the back for some extra bass, I use Cerwin Vega speakers, I use with my home system and loved them, put them in my car and love them, go figure. Good luck
