Default Rear speaker size

Does anyone know what size the rear speakers are? Has anyone tried aftermarket rear speakers with the factory head unit & BOSE signal processor? I was thinking about installing a pair of Infinity Kappa 6.5" Triaxials I have lying around, but I am not sure if it is worth it.

They are 5 1/4. Here's a picture of them.

B-Myster,

Are you the person that posted the $20 Stereo How-To upgrade on the zzee0066vveettee.com (name misspelled on purpose) forum?

No it wasn't me. I'm going to give it try, but haven't had a chance to do it since I just got my new Z06 after the GM buy back on my previous one. There is great write up on how to do the tweeter install on the Z06 Vette forum. I'll instant message you the link since the corvette forum won't let you post other forum names.

I saw that thread on the other forum site last night. I wonder if it is really worth it. The stock system lacks power & bass and I am not sure that adding a tweeter will really help. It might just make the system sound more shrill.
