Does anyone know the size of the speakers that will fit in the factory stereo console. I am looking to get the stock console but put an aftermarket system in the console. I assume they are 6.5" speakers but I seem to remember someone mentioning they were an off size (maybe 6"?).

Thanks!

Thanks, I got the console, stereo and speakers. I read the posts on switched/unswitched power I can pigtail off from the fuse box. I am still unclear on the ground for the stereo…can anyone provide advice on what wire to use for the ground for the stereo?

Thanks!

DC 12 volt ground is the cart frame.
