Question Speaker size for a 1997 Honda Civic?

After researching different spec sites, I was led to believe that the door speakers were 6.5 inches, so I went out and bought two new 6.5 inch speakers, went to wire them in, and found out that they were too big! Does anyone know the ACTUAL size, so I can get the RIGHT speakers this time? Also, how the heck do I replace the 6x9 speakers in the rear deck? I spent almost three hours last night trying to figure out how to remove the originals, but I just can't figure it out o_O

I had a similar problem with the door speakers in my '97. They ended up being about 1/4" larger in diameter than the stock ones, so they required some trimming to fit. Mine were also deeper than stock, so I had to do a lot of trimming to get them to fit inside the OEM plastic basket. In the end, most of that nicely-designed factory shielding was cut away, but the speakers fit flush and you'd never know they weren't stock.
