I think you would have to trim the rear compartment to fit the 4" rear speakers properly. I have measured the rear compartment again and again and only 3.5" speakers will fit.
BTW I have the OEM rear speakers (not installed... I hate the factory sound so much that I did not bother installing them) and I can see two speakers on each side. They are 3 1/4" in diameter. But why two? I guess they connect in series, but still why two?
I am thinking of buying a 5 1/2 component speaker system and installing the woofers in the doors and the tweeters in the rear compartment. But I will install 3 1/2" rear speakers too, so the tweeters sound redundant.... What do you think?

The rears were hidious, even worse than the front. Yes the 2 speakers on each side in the rear were just split on each side( Weird).
ON mounting the rears (that sounds funny

), anyways, I am thinking about two ways, one is to get a board and mounting them at a slight angle, or finding some cheap computer speaker(or something) casing and mounting them in that. I am going to Best buy, oddlots(amazing what crap you can retool there) and where ever else I can think of. I may even hinge two boards together, cut a big hole for the magnets and use that. Either way I have decided to put them in the middle compartment as the tried them behind the seat rest(where the stock were) and it really killed the volume and quality.
For some reason I get a kick out of puzzles like this and love figuring it out.
The fronts were easy. I just cut out the center and three posts in the back so the speaker would fit. They sounded great until I hooked up the rears. The rears are so clear and loud!!
The whole key was setting the radio's custom users settings, mids, lows, highs, sub,..... The presets were garbage.
