you would probably get better value out of upgrading your HU unless you dont want to for aesthetics or something

yeah the speakers will be 6 inch, (6.5inch will fit them no worries) and the subs are 8 inch cos thats wat the calais has, if u want to keep the dash lookin stocku could get a boot stacker with a mini display thing that u stick in the glovebox or where ever, (dunno where they r though, only ever seen one we had in our old car), hope that helps or gives u ideas.

it depends on the 6.5 inch speakers and the basket size. i couldnt fit my alpines in the stock pods and then the custom mdf pods i made for the alpines wouldnt fit the nakas. the alpines and nakas were both ment to be 6.5 inch but the alpines were a smaller 6.5 inch with a smaller basket and the nakas were a bigger 6.5 inch with a very large basket.
also another problem is that because of the angle the stock pods are they will sometimes make the magnet hit the metal door inner skin.
there is no way someone can predict if a speaker will be ok unless they have installed that specific speaker.

its not just the depth but the actual shape of the basket side on... what i was trying to make clear is there is no real way to say if it will fit. the worst case senario is that you need to make different custom mdf spacers. best case is that the speakers fit well with not too much cutting on the stock plastic pod (the plastic pods sound cap tho...).
