Yes, they are both 6.5...but 5.25 would probably work too...

Thanks for the help, I installed Polk DB 6500 in the dash and sound bar. I also packed the front "pods" and the soundbar with pollyfill. I think it helped with vibration.
The differance in sound is outstanding.

The Polk Audio speakers made a big improvement in mine as well. I would highly recommend them. I bought the 651s shallow 6.5".

Add a small sub if you don't already have one and it make a HUGE difference. Even with just the factory radio.
