I'm looking for new speakers but I find most of the reasonably prices 5"x7" speakers out there arn't too good. Very expensive 5"x7" speakers are good, but I'm not willing to pay that much for speakers . Reasonably prices 6"x9" speakers sound really good but I'm not sure if I can install them in my 95 Mazda 626 DX which comes origonally with 5"x7" I believe. I found these really good sounding Pioneer 6"x8" speakers, yes they are 6"x8" and NOT 6"x9", and I was wondering if they would fit? I'm hoping since they are 1" shorter the possibility of installing them in my car would be highter, so what do you guys think?

I know that 6 1/4 fits, I put those in my car and they sound good.

i have a 626 96/DX and it came with 6x8 all around
i pay 80.00 for the front and a friend sold me 6x9 for the back wich i put from the bottom up. hope that info. helps. PS a bought the 6x8 in best buy.

Yes you can, thats what I have in the front, I wish I can put 6x9, I cant, they fall if I put them from the bottom up because of the bass
