Yes, the rears are 6X9's, despite the size of the holes. The fronts are 4 
1/2". oyu will also have to rewire each speaker you run, as the factory 
setup carries a very low current signal, and amplifies it individually. If 
you want it to switch on and off with the key, an additional wire will need 
to be run for that as well.

You will have to remove the door panel to get at teh speakers. Three allens 
in the bottom of the armrest (3mm, I think) and it comes off. Don't remove 
them completely, just loosen each one a bit. Then, I think nearly everything 
else is obvious. There is one screw on the door handle inside that the 
handle has to be pulled to see. As in, like you are opening the door, then 
look in behind it.
