Hey Guys,

I need some quick help. I am trying to replace me stereo in my 1998 Rodeo and online they said it uses 6.5" front speakers. I took out the rear top speakers no problem and when I took out the front ones I was surprised that they were 5.5 across and the holes were 6" across,

here is my dilemma I ordered alpine 4" & 6,5" speakers beofre I took them out so I am wondering what's up?

Will a 6.5 really fit? Has anyone done this? or should I just look for a 5.5"???

Thanks so much, sorry its not more technical.... :-)

i put some infiniti 6.5 components in my 98. i think they were the 6012cs model. i had to router/dremel the door panel quite a bit in a few places. none of it shows with the factory grill over it. i had to put the crossovers in the door pockets though. in the end, i would not try it again.

According to Crutchfield, they take 6.5's. But, as experienced above, OEM pods sometimes take a little massaging to fit aftermarket speakers.
