Default door panel speakers

Well today i installed the door speakers, since mine I discovered were the infinity stock and were completely damaged beyond repair...I have a 99 mit eclipse spyder gs...

The place that I bought them from said they were 5.25 inches round that fit into the door panel, however they were dead wrong...

I cut the bracket from the infinity speakers and rigged the speaker into the bracket of the old speaker using cutters and some extra bolts, came out very nice and sounds great!

I was just wondering if anybody else knew if their door panels were 5.25 and wondering if I should complain to the place I bought them.

Everywhere i check for speakers online, circuit city, best buy, etc says that they are 5.25..somethings deffinately wrong there


thanks

I have an rs which comes with a lesser audio system but the pioneers that I threw in my front were 4 inch with an external tweeter on the dash.

they are 6.5, i got a really good deal on 5.25 rockfords, so i just rigged it to fit, sounds great and luckily you cant see the speakers so you'd never know haha...

what size are the rear speakers..

when i bought my 99 mit eclipse spyder gs convert, the front dash speakers dont work still! and i just replaced the door speakers..

how difficult is it to switch the dash speakers, ripping apart a dash for those small speakers, dont even seem worth it to me..

Are you sure they are 6.5? B/c on my 98Spyder GS 6.5 dont fit right and according to cardomain.com's guide 7" is what goes in there, and it makes sense b/c it would fill in the gap... i dunno
