That's the identical car to what I own. So what do you want to know 
They are 6x8s all around. Also, it is not a bad car to make sound pretty good. However, you have to be VERY careful how big you make the box because the trunk openings are terrible. Huge trunk, small openings FTL. Also, the trunk rattles like a mofo if you don't deaden it. Anything else you want to know about it? Oh, is it the electronic climate control? Because, if it it, you won't be able to get a HU for it without doing a custom install. Again, pretty sad. |

No, Sean that won't work if it's the electronic climate control like mine. Those are for manual climate control. So far as I know, other than adding another HU in the glove box or something along those lines, there is nothing to do with it other than ad a LOC. |

Yeah I hate my LOC as well. It was just my only choice.
I don't really want to disclose the speakers I have...but I will lol. I got two sets of Audiobahn speakers with some amp when I first got the car. It was dumb, but I didn't know better at the time. I want to get rid of the car so badly that I haven't bothered dropping more $$ into it for better speakers. You really are limited with the 6x8s. I don't really know what to suggest |

well you can get adapter plates and put a different size speaker in there...heres one made by metra for $10.95 to convert to 5.25 or 6.5

or you can make your own adapter |
