Need Help Confirming Speaker Sizes.

[No Crust Racing]

The missus has hinted that she wouldn't mind some new speakers in her 2008 model GH series 1 Mazda6, with mothers day approaching it seems like a good time.

However I can't seem to confirm what speaker sizes it has and as it is her car I can't easily pull the trims without her noticing.

What little info I can get seems to imply they are 5x7 and that 6x8 will also fit.

Can anyone who works in the industry confirm this? The car has a standard, non-Bose, stereo and appears to have splits in the front (tweeter separate) and standard speakers in the rear.

I looked at this already, but also found conflicting information on the tubes about how GC and GG were different to GH and onwards.

That's also an american site, another red flag for me because there are differences between the models - such as the Yanks getting a 6cyl option while we never had that.

Chris Rogers might be able to help. But it looks like you'll have to pull the door cards off yourself if you want certainty.

Isn't there an Australian Mazda club/forum?

There is, OZMadaClub, I've asked, one guy replied with that he assumes they are 5x7 like most other MAzda's but didn't know.

Mazda Formum on Hardtuned doesn't know either.

6x8 , they are built onto a plate though so you will have to replicate that.
