Anyone have the dimensions or sizes for all the OEM speakers? I'm looking to get some new speakers and forgot the speaker sizes. The rears I believe are 5 1/4" right? How about the doors and tweeters?

C5 targa coupes are have 6.5" rears but require a spacer for the driver's side to clear the gas nozzle line if you're going to use large magnet drivers. A 1/2"-3/4" will be fine in most cases.

C5 verts and FRCs have 5 1/4" rears

The fronts on all C5's have a 8" woofer and a 3.5" midrange driver. They can easily accept a 6.5" and up to an 8" with a custom speaker plate. A 10" sub can be fitted in the doors with minimal trimming to the door panel and as long as the magnet clears the window when down.

I was researching audio gear on the web and ran across some 8" 2way speakers. Do think they'll just fit into the stock 8" door speaker plate? Got the bezel on the pool table in the garage doing the double din mod, its gonna be ?
