Lanos Speaker Replacement

Hi,I am thinking of replacing the factory speakers in my 99 Lanos hatchback.
Does anyone know what size speakers will fit in the front and in the rear? I have a nice set of Infinity Kappa 6.5 inch speakers but I dont know if they will go in the front.
I am not so concerned about the rears if i can get a decent set in the front,it will make up for having none in the rear.

Also,while i'm on the subject,how the hell do you get to the rear speakers? I undid the 2 screws,but it looks like the grille piece is joined somehow to the trim piece that goes up over the rear side window.
I could pry it open enough to see the underside of the speaker where the wire connector joins,so if I wanted to i guess i could just disconnect the wire and leave it in there. But I would like to take them out really,and replace them with something better.
There are also some pop-in clips down the side piece, not sure how to get them out without breaking them. I didnt want to force it too much in case it broke off.

i have 6 1/2's in the front doors of my lanos, what i did is cut out the stock speaker grill in the door pannel, and screwed the speaker to the surface of the pannel like this

thats a pic from when i had 5 1/4's but i have 6 1/2's now just like it, but stock is 4 inch or 4 1/2 (or some thing like that)

i just did a quick look up on the search engine here and came up with this thread. and not trying to sound like an ass but if you could try to look up some stuff like this first using the search button that would help out a lot on re-posting. just a suggestion. i have no problem helping out though.

Yeah sorry,I did a search but obviosly i didnt go back far enough to see that from 2 years ago.

And daewoomofo,did you fix the speakers to the plastic door panel,or is it fixed to something behind it to make it more rigid? I just thought that the plastic door panel would be a bit flimsy to attach speakers to.

thanks for the replies.

How did you get round the problem of having the window winder knocking against a 6.5 inch speaker? It dosent look like there is anough clearance for a 5.25,never mind a 6.5 !!!
