speaker sizes interchangable?

i just finished shopping for my stereo setup for my car since everything was on sale under one roof today. anyways, i picked up a full set of clarion speakers 2 years ago from the sale sale, and today i picked up a clarion 4 channel amp and deck.

anyways, i havent used any of the stuff yet since its all in their boxes still and i still havent finished my car yet. as far as sound quality goes, im not expecting too much, but i am expecting it to be much better then stock.

i bought a pair of 6.5" and a pair of 5.25" speakers and these were sized according to my 86 EX-i. since i bought elijahs 89 accord, will these speakers still work on it? for some reason, the sticky says that im supposed to get 6x9 speakers, so are one of my pairs of speakers garbage now?

you may still be able to use the 6.5 in the back
just might have to get some fiber board and make a 6x9cutout to bolt to the 6x9 pos thgen gut the 6.5 hole in the middle and mount to the board

i know that the lx-is from 86-87 got the 6.5 in the rear just like the lx...my 89 lx-i came with 6x9 but you can interchange them with the right bases
