when you have the rear parcel shelf out, you can actually flip it over and see the holes for the oem speaker. you can cut those open and fit a 6.5 through. don't expect to find a direct fit because the the oem size is odd.
What are the OEM speaker sizes for front and rear on the 98 200SX SE? If possible, what are the recommend aftermarket replacement size availble on this car? I'll be looking forward to replacing them since my sound is just really crap.
Are there any screws to loosen on the rear deck or does it pop out with a screw driver prying?
That depends on how you listen to your music.. Plus i already have a pair of fosgate 6X9 that sound Fu*kin good in the boxes their in. i plan on getting a pair of 6.5 compnets for the front doors, im trying for the fosgate T162s(100w RMS). the 6X9 will mainly just boost the mids. and if im not mistaken dont you want the better sounding speakers in the front? but anyway how can i cut bigger holes w/o messing with the tension bars that open the trunk? or should i just make a spacer and cut holds in the cover?

alot of people don't like rear speakers at all. Serach the audio forum.
Speakers aren't meant to be oval, a 6.5 on the same par as a 6x9 will sound better.
I doubt a spacer would fit in the rear deck and still be able to get the cover on.
STICK WITH NICE 6.5!!!!

You will have to use tin snips or the appropriate metal cutting saw. You will find that when you cut the holes large enough for the 6 x 9 they speakers will probably not sit flat on the metal without making a wood spacer. Honestly the 6 1/2 will sound better unless you manage to seal the 6 x 9 to the rear deck to isolate the waves properly.

Hey if you want to ask questions of your own that differ from the original topic either SEARCH or start a new thread. The front speakres are oversized 6.5's. Crutchfield.com has a speaker compatability chart that you can use.
The rear deck pop off with clips, however some of them are glued down and they ar emuch more difficult to remove.

First of all, thanks for taking your time to answer my question. This is a tough forum. I've only been here for one week and I've been constantly harrassed by members. Blah, blah, blah.
ok,
well mabye i will stick with 6.5 in the front and rear, which leaves me with a unused pair of kick-a$$ 6x9's. in the process of trying to figure out how to take the rear deck off i pulled off the back side pannels(next to seats). anyone think theres a way to fit 6x9's in there? thanks
I did that a few months ago. There are some basic imprints on the underside of the rear deck, but I found them to not be entirely accurate. I just used some saw in my garage and got the holes near-perfect, and mounted some grilles on top of the deck.
I was absolutely amazed at the difference of sound quality after cutting the holes...its night and day. I will never let a speaker be covered up in any car I own for the rest of my life.

lol... but you used 6x9? if so how did you get around the tension bar in the trunk(if needed)?
Sell your 6x9 and get you a nice set of 6.5 speakers.
