You can put 6.5s in the rear also but you can't re-use the stock speaker grille.

I got a pair of pioneer 6.5" behind the front panels of a 97 without too much trouble. I haven't messed with the rears.

I used Polk MM series 5 1/4" Ft. doors and 6.5" in the rear. Pioneer 800W amp under Pass.front seat (the Pioneer amp fits perfect). Kenwood Head unit. Sounds awesome with out a sub.
