    Convertible rear premium speaker question

    Got my new head unit installed and turns out the driver side rear speaker is blown, so I want to replace it. Is this speaker the same as the front kick panel speakers?

    I don't see convertible rear speakers up for sale very often but I do see a few sets of non-convertible premium speakers for sale now. I wasn't sure if those rear speakers in the surface mount enclosure would work for me.

    Thanks.

    The mids are all basically the same size. On my 'vert I needed two rear speakers and used front premiums. I bypassed the built in cross-over and they worked surprisingly well.

        I just purchased a front premium speaker off ebay so hopefully I can just install that in the rear. Thanks for the responses.

            That is what I have deduced also. Front and Rear convertible speakers are 5.25"

            Now I need to find some shallow 5.25 speakers that will fit with the OEM grill in place

              Can someone chime in with some recommendations on which brands wont have fitment issues?
