i don't know what size the back speakers are in mine, but they look stock.
The previous owners put some jbl's in the front and the sound is alright, i wish it could go louder. It is perfectly fine if the windows are up, but when you are on the highway with the windows, you tend to hear wind noise more than the music. I am not aware of any tweeters in the back, but like belize said, the 90-91 don't have them.

When you remove the door skins you will see that the map pocket is held on with screws and is located with about four larger pins.
All you need to do is drill some new holes through the backer board.
Be careful you don't try to drill through the vinyl skin though the drill will grab it and tear it, what you want to do is cut a small X with an exacto knife or punch through with an awl and the remount the map pocket. If you have the carpet you don't have to worry so much but you should still use an awl to punch through the carpet surface.

Hope this helped aviator.

I won't be the first to admit that removing both rear panels is a PITA. Although there are much worse things I could be doing to my car, it's still not something I look forward to. It's pretty simple though.

I like the custom work from the pics, but I don't think I could ever bring myself to molest my door panels. Maybe "molest" is too strong a word, since your custom jobs seem to look good.

Replaced four stockers with 5.25", powered by the HU. Added a custom box with four 6x9's, 80oz magnets on each. Switched Fosgate power from under the driver's seat. Box faces rear, idea robbed from my old wakeboard boat. Will make for one hell of an outdoor bbq...

"Battery" sounds so good from behind the thing...

Neighbors don't like it thus far.

Hey, the standard redneck disclaimer is right there in the sig. lol



Worked great on mine. Sounds just as good as it did before my knife went through the speaker trying to splice some wires.
