They are a weird size, 5" I think and very shallow. The sound quality is just TERRIBLE too! I replaced mine in my 2017 last year, couldn't handle to poor quality sound any more.....while I was at it, I replaced the head unit and the interior speakers too. I used a Kenwood head unit, Alpine 6.5" speakers for the inside and Kenwood 6.5" Marine speakers for the exterior. The OEM opening in the exterior wall is about 4.5 inches, had to enlarge that to 5.5" and also install some spacers since the wall cavity is not deep enough for better quality speakers that have larger magnets. The spacers I used were what is typically used in motorcycle fairing installs when moving up to larger speakers, they are 1" thick rings that mount between the speaker and the wall to move the speaker out a bit so it fits the shallow cavity.
Very simple install and a tremendous improvement in sound quality, never regretted it a bit.
