do you mean aftermarket speakers that will fit in the factory holes?

if so then all depends on what music you listen to, how much you want to spend and if they are coming off a amp or just the standard ford stereo.

13cm fit straight in the front doors and there's some decent depth there too so you can go for some real quality. i've got some components up front in mine which were pretty straight forward to fit. the rears are the same size but obviously there is the slight issue of the surrounds on the factory fit items.

I'm also interested in improving on my factory speakers, have a decent head unit, not going down the route of amps and stuff this time, just want to improve what's there without changing the look of things.

So the front sounds easy, some decent 13cm ones won't be hard to find. But what to do about the rear shelf speakers??

Digging up a old post, but I don't want to cut or drill anything, and have front speaker issues, does anyone have a model number of a direct fit aftermarket speaker.

I'd have thought that your best chance of a neat solution would be to remove the original speaker and take it down to your local car stereo shop. They'd be able to match you a new pair by eye, thus guaranteeing a perfect fit.
