Help with speaker sytem

Hi this is my first post.

I have a skoda octavia vrs with the 6 speaker system. i want to change all speakers and the head unit now what size will fit into the front as i have a set of jl audio csi 650 i think they are 6.5 with tweeters now will these fit straight in to the speaker pods and also the tweeters ones, will i be able to use the exsiting wires. Also how would i replace the fronts can i just pop off the speaker grille.

Also what size are the rears and do they have tweeters with them or built in if so where, can someone recommend some speakers. Would i be right in saying they just unscrew and i use the exsiting wires.

any help would be great

The grills just pop of with gentle pressure. One of mine blew up when i tried to get it back on it was really brittle for some reason.

you might find that they don't fit to big at the back so you wil have to remove the door panel and cut out the hole to fit but then it might hit the window arm as it lowers your best bet is to buy some infinity 625i speakers fit straight in and you only need to cut the blocks of the old speakers and hey presto!!!.but be carefull with the speaker cover i cracked mine too .You can buy the speakers from Halfords approx £40quid 150watts sound really good hope this helps.

The block referenced above is the standard factory connector block,the replacement speakers come with spade connector terminals. You could get adapter leads if you don't want to cut those, try looking on autoleads site.
