yes, just check the mounting depth on them too, last thing you want to do is wind window down and it hits the rear of speaker :)

Just take the door card off and measure, shouldn't take 2 minutes.

Those are component speakers, rather than coaxials, and so require a little extra fitting time.

(the difference between components and coaxials is that components come with seperate tweeter and woofer, where as coaxials have the tweeter and woofer built in together)

They'll be better, but it depends on what you want

Pros:

- better sound quality
- tweeter can be placed closer to your ear
- often a better mid-bass frequency is produced.

cons:

- gotta drill a few holes in the door card
- more annoying to fit

Having said that, comps aren't that complicated to fit, the process is:

- original speaker wires to the crossover
- wires from crossover to woofer
- wires from crossover to tweeter
- repeat on other door

[most people tend to put the cross over in the smaller of the two door pockets]
[tweeter tends to go either on the inside mirror cover, or the door card itself]


As for rear speakers. I don't really see the need to spend money so that your passengers can hear music lol... the front speakers will be more than adequate in filling a small car, such as a saxo, with sound. However, I'd advise upgrading the fronts, and then deciding if you wish to upgrade the rears; in which case, some half decent 10cm coaxials from £20 - £30 should suffice.

If I was considering rear speakers, I'd rather do these before buying rears:

- upgrade front speakers
- sound deaden front doors
- buy an amp
