The prev owner of my wagon actually purchased replacement speakers for this car from the STEALER. Wow, big price but great sound.

Really? I bet that cost a fortune. I'm looking at upgrading my speakers right now in my sedan. Nothing crazy, just want some crisper sounds. My tweeters are going and whenever there's a high pitch they are crackling. And when I have my AC on full blast I can't turn my stereo up louder than it without my speakers sounding like ****.

Doors 5.25" but will require some new mounting holes. Rear deck 6" x 9" but the stock covers wont work. If you want to use the stock covers you'll have to go wit a 4' x 6". Not sure about the dash.

5x7 will fit rear deck and speaker grill should fit from what I've read on VS. Dash is 1" tweeters with some modification.

I think those full range drivers that go in the door are about $110 each @ the steeler.

Damn? No way? That is so much when you can get pairs of speakers for half that price that will probably sound way better and have a more full range of sound.

I just bought Alpine 5.25s for the front and back doors, Alpine 5x7 for the rear deck, and pair of Kenwood 1" tweeters for the dash.

Really? Will you still get good sound by using 3.5" speakers in the dash instead of tweeters? I feel like then you'll be missing out on the high notes. I don't know though. I'm going to put in some 1" Kenwood tweeters and hopefully they sound good.

I've got kicker 3.5s with tweeters, it really helps fill in that space between the 5 1/4" and the tweeters. you'll want to keep the treble down, though.
I have 3.5 coax in the front, 5.25 coax in the doors, and 6x9 3-ways on the deck, but I also have 2 12s in the trunk, so it all balances out
I would try to find some 3.5s to put up front and don't use the tweeters. it'll give a much better range (or mid-bass drivers in the doors)

I already ordered everything. I have 1" Kenwood tweeters for the dash, two-way 5.25 Alpines for the front/rear doors and two-way 5x7 Alpines for rear shelf and then I also already have an Infinity Bass-Link in the trunk. I think it should be fine.
