Default Speaker Size Forte AU1

Can anyone tell me the unmodified front speaker size for a Ford Falcon Forte Au1 and also the back speakers?

Are the front 6" or 6.5"?

Thanks gents

5x7 all Round..

6" will fit in the hole though, and will fit even better with a spacer.

Will a 6.5" speaker fit on the front? Or will it need spacers as well? Do these spacers take a lot of time to install?

from what ive read

you get a piece of 10mm MDF..
make a template from the 5x7 hole in the front door
so that the mdf covers the hole..
then cut ur 6.5" speaker hole out of the mdf spacer

fit speaker and spacer to door and voila!!

the door trim fits back on without interference

ive never tried it but plan to do so soon..

hope that helps a bit
good luck!
