I not sure what size the rear speakers are in my car, 5x7, 6x8 or something else. The ones in the front doors are 6.5 and the ones in the dash are 3.5 right?

no stock speaker in the dash, but thats probably the right size for the holes that are there. the rear is 5x7 and 6x8. the woofers that hang off the bottom are 6x8 and the ones above are 5x7. :thumb:

Just to clarify:

The JBL system has the 5x7/6x8 combo in back. The stock premium is simply a 6x8.

The front speakers are a little smaller than the usual aftermarket 6.5" speaker. I had to have my brackets cut. If you can find a 6" speaker I would recommend it as the gen1 has a metal bracket rather than the gen2 flush mount.

There are speaker in my dash (behind the grilles w/ the auto lamp sensors) I was referring to the 2 rear speakers that are between that storage compartment. Someone stripped the premium system out of my car, I don't have the amps, sub, or 5x7/6x8 speakers inside the trunk. Also, the deck i'm putting in is 200 watts, what wattage speakers would you recomend?

If the rear mat (where the rear speakers are) you dont see little holes into it in the middle (passing the air for the sub) Your car didnt have that option.

If you change the radio , if you go for a powerfull one , the speakers wont last 2 weeks before they will be blown.

AND its gonna sound like crap ....i tried it.

OK, I referenced it and the rears are 6x8, the front door ones are 5.25, and the dash ones are 3.5. Maybe someone can Sticky this.

Those dash speakers were not stock. Only lower model Tauri have the dash speakers. You will also probably need a baffle to cover the distance up front in the doors when using a 5.25" speaker.
