Default speaker question

I have an 1998 C5 coupe black of course and I wanted to replace my door speakers and my rear speakers. What is the size of the front door and rear speakers. I already purchased the front door speaker adapters for the doors but i need to know the sizes. Also i would like to replace the stock radio with an aftermarket Kenwood cd player with ipod connection. What adapters would i need for the car to make sure everything works correctly..

Do you have a Bose System, If so there is no replacement for the sub-woofers without changing out the whole system and adding an amp to drive the speakers.

You can use 3.5" in the top doors and 6.5" in the rears without any adapters. Look over in the audio section for the HU adapter as I can't remember the name of who makes it off the top of my head.

Do the front speaker adapters have holes cut in them? I am changing my entire system as well. I have 6.5" in the back and 6.5" componants in front. I am running a 5-channel amp to power all the speakers and sub. I have the Kenwood KDC-X592 (usb,hd,sat. ready). With all of this NONE of the factory wiring gets used. I hope that answered your questions.
