I found DLS C36, 3 way components for a good price from a well regarded Swedish speaker manufacturer. 6.5, 4 and .8 silk tweeter. The mid is listed as 2.28 " deep. Outmotoring in the initial post listed the mid depth as 2.25 ". It is not much deeper, think I could get it to fit? Here is a link http://www.dls.se/en/car/prod.html?produkt=en_57
does anyone know the specific sizes for the front speakers?
I believe they are metric. Why do you ask? I have them out and could measure the lower speakers, it is important. I'd have to find the upper speakers. Exactly, what part do you want measured? I'm not sure what part of the speaker is measured to determine its nominal size. Is it from the centers of the mounting holes, or what?

I have the upper speaker handy....and lower. Let me know how i can help.
FINALLY, after buying a new set of speakers and having them in the garage for 2 months, I spent 4hrs replacing the fronts. Yes, I'm new to this kind of stuff.
Purchased Infinity 3022 + 6022 + 6922. They're not as great as my home speakers, but I made a comparison with stock and there was a HUGE difference. I guess that says how poor the oem speakers were.
One problem - I think I didn't clip on the mirror button properly and now I have to push harder to get the mirrors to go. Not a big deal since I never touch the mirrors anyway, but I'll need to get that fixed the next time I'm bored.
Won't be starting the rears yet, don't have the right size torx drivers... but looking forward to it. Thanks NAM for all the great info.
Replacing the rears is a B-I-G job because to get to them you have to gut the interior from the doors back (not including the headliner, of course). Suggest that you have plenty of Dynamat to quiet things down while you're at it. Focals are great speakers. Highly recommended.
fronts done last week, rears just completed today.
better/tighter/cleaner speakers means you notice the bass fall-off in the rear channels. Will have to do the x9331 channel swap tomorrow.
