Take of the grill and see for yourself. You will definetly need some kind of contraption to mount the speaker since the old mounting holes won't work. Oh and the rears are 5x7s. So I doubt you'll fit anything over 6.5 inch components behind that grill.

Here's an idea of what you have to work with back there. The silver is sound deadening... without it you might have another 1/16" of room.

As you can see, you would need to do lots of chopping to get an 8" speaker in there. I don't know how much clearance there is between the sheet metal and the interior panel, but I think there would be 1/2" to 1".

i have a set of 8" speackers in my back pannels. yes i did have to cut a bit and they are only held in by 2 screwes but they are there. I also have a set of 6.5's in my doors and some aftermarket tweeters in the stock tweerer "box" in the front doors. I taped into the stock wires comming out of the stock amp to power the 6.5's in the doors and the stock amp still powers the tweeters. Not counting the stock amp i have 1340 watts in my trunk and i can be heard
