Default Some speaker help please..

I am gonna change the factory ML system out. So far I have my subwoofer and amps all settled.
I was just wondering if anyone knows the speaker sizes for our car? Front and rear, three way speaker size and mounting depth if possible. Looks like 6.5's in the bottom but that is all I can see.
Anyone change out any of there speakers yet or add a woofer?
Thanks in advance fellas and have a great week.

Set up so far.
12" FI Q Subwoofer (Probably in a sealed 1.2 enclosure.)
US Amps MD.2D.
165 K3P 3 way component speakers for the front.
Haven't decided if I want to do a full 3 way speaker for the rear door.(Kind of a waste for the rear.
Haven't decided on the amp yet either. Maybe a Zapco DC 1000.4 or something simpler like a Diamond Audio D6 700.4.
All comments and recommendations would be awesome.
Thanks again and you guys are the best.

As long as I leave the factory headunit, I think I am okay.
You guys don't like extreme bass as you go around the track?

I was also very interested in adding some more power and better speakers into the car but did not want to have to give up any of the options or control that the headunit provides. So I guess my question is are you experienced with this kind of stuff? I was told on another forum that I'd have to get a new program or something to be able to use different amps and such, especially since the amp is a 10-channel amp... but of course you can't alwasy believe what you read on the internet.

I'm very excited to see how this system turns out. I'm running Zapco DC1100.1 and a DC 1000.4 in my Sierra Denali and I could not be happier. I would really like to upgrade the bass in my F, but I'm yet to see a setup that excites me and is not too heavy so keep us posted!

I can't wait to see the final setup either Fleadog has a really nice sub setup that looks like it came stock in the F. Sounds great too
