As Jim notes, you can consult with Crutchfield, however, Crutchfield no longer carries the best speaker for that location (in my opinion), the MB Quart 4" PCE speakers. These will flush mount in the same spot and give much better performance than stock. You'll need to widen the hole the OEM speakers were in just a hair to accomodate the MB Quarts. The MB Quarts have a MUCH heftier magnet than stock. I chose to not use the separate tweeter and cross over unit (in theory the tweeter could be mounted on the internal speaker, but I found the flush mount grill would not sit down all the way in that case.) Curiously I did get my MB Quarts from Crutchfield, during the 6 months or so that they carried them. But I was lucky. Wandered in to the semi-local store (Harrisonburg, Virginia) and picked them up right off the shelf. I've never regretted it.
