Default Ford/Mazda/Nissan speakers on my car?

So my sister got these pair of nice 220w speakers for her Explorer..but she's never had the time to install them or anything, so she's willing to give to me.

The only problem though would be if they fit in my car or not. I can see how you can have speakers designed for Ford/Mazda, but how does Nissan fit into it? Speakers are just speakers right? So would they fit on my Integra?

where do you want to place them? they are a bit big you might have to modify the area where the speakers are kept....largest size without modification is 6 1/2's

are the 6x9 factory speakers? if the 6x9 are after market you'll be fine. If you have a sedan, they'll fit fine in the back. Otherwise you'll have to modify the coupe. Have you changed out your stock speakers yet? If not you'll have clip the stock connectors and change them to generic connectors.

I bought some FUSION 6.5 speakers for the back of my teg and they didnt fit "Exactly" in the hole that was provided, I guess maybe because FUSION is made in Australia (Who Knows). Anyways, In conclusion lets say I got to play with the dremel to make that hole bigger and add screw holes.

6x8's are weird speakers, for some reason Ford decided to use them and to make Mazda use them by association. I have had the chance to work with them in my father's B3000 pick-up, no fun. The only way you will get them into an Integra is what others have been suggesting, which is modifying (cutting, chopping, hacking, fabricating) some place of the car for them to bolt into/onto.
