Will 6.5" Speakers fit in the Rear of 98 EX Coupe?

I know that they will physically fit (with an adaptor), but as far as installing them, will they fit? i know its pretty cramped to get at the screws for the 6x9's, but with the adaptor, wud it be possible to put in 6.5's? im looking to install the woofers from a component set (no tweeters)

thanks

I'm about to do the same thing lol. But I'm either going with a 6" or 7" (as of now).

With some tin snips, a power drill, and some screws you can make it fit It's easy enough to make an adapter, but depending on the speaker, a 6.5" speaker won't fit in a 6" wide hole.
