They'll physically fit perfectly but I wouldn't do it. These are 8 ohm speakers and your head unit is designed to work with 2 ohm speakers. You'll effectively cut your total volume output by more than 1/2.

If you're wanting to replace stock speakers with something good and not real expensive, check out the Polk Audio MM651 speakers. Going to a 6.5" speaker will require a set of adapter rings from DragonFly or someone else but it's a drastic improvement over stock and well worth the cost.

If I were doing to replace the stockers again, I would look at the 6.5 inch polks. I think they are db651s.
MM651s for stock replacement as they are 2 ohm. the DB651s are 4 ohm. you want to match components as closely as possible when doing audio setups.

Mmats, did you install the speakers and the amp at the same time? If not did you notice a major difference with the amp?
