Door Speakers??

I have a 1997 Mercury Sable LS with the Mach Audio System. I need new door speakers but when I go to Crutchfield they say that either a 5 1/4 or a 6x8 will fit. Does anybody know what size is in the doors stock?? My girlfriend has my car for now so I cant pull the door panel and look.

Thanks.

I know this is an old post, but for those who might be curious. The speakers in the Sable are 5x7's or 6x8's (same thing). 5- 1/4 speakers will fit, but they are ovular 5x7's all around. IF you put the 5.25's, the mount holes will work, but it wont be a perfect fit, and not that it is necessary.

I have a 99 Sable with the Mach Audio system too. LMAO, thats really funny though. They have housings for 1" tweeters in the corner of the window. So I went to replace my speakers. What I found, is that there are NO speakers present in the houseings (lol). Its really gay. Anyways, Im not sure if mine is the only one like that or everyone with a Mach system?
