6x6\'s is the size. I don\'t think you will get more then 50w per channel out of them though, all depends on which par you buy. But it if you want to push 250w i suggest getting a pair of 6x9\'s on the boot rack in the back. Someone please correct me if im wrong.

you want a set of of componants in the front doors 16.5 cm will fit with adapter rings you really need to run them off an amp but thay can be run off the headunit it really depends on your budget for what speakers you go for

Dont bother with 6x9\'s there utter waste of money buy a decent sub instead

when buying speakers always look at the rms ratings as this is the true power of the speaker(s)

rainbow 265\'s deluxe £130 (well worth the money and thay piss all over my alpines i had rated to around 90w rms)
