6.5" or 5.25"? Which is it?

Hi all-

Just bought a 2003 MCS w/o the premium sound system. Wondering what size speakers are in the front doors. I have a pair of MB Quart 6.5" Q-Series separates from my last car I'd like to use, but I'm not sure if they'll fit. I looked at crutchfield.com and they list 6.5" and 5.25" as fitting up front

Anyone have any real experience with this or concrete knowledge?

I put 6 3/4 in mine, but I had to make baffles out of MDF, THe factory speakerhas the baffle and spacer built into it. You'll need something to use as a spacer on the Q's, but they'll fit

Thanks for the good news, I'm glad I don't have to throw $800 speakers down the drain! =D
