Door Speakers - 700 Replacement sizes? 700 1990

Hiya, folks.

Going well enough on my skunky 1990 740GL that I'm driving it more than half the time for my short commute to work. The 2 blown out door speakers (one front one rear) are starting to drive me crazy and I saw a good deal on some 5.25 inch speakers that I bought some .... and they don't fit. Like they're both too small for the opening but the actual cones are the same size.

I measured the new speakers using their templates and saw immediately that the surrounds are too small for the opening but they're not quite 6 inches.

The FAQ says the mounting depth needs to be less than 2 inches, but I measured mine at 2.5" deep - this can also depend on the magnet diameter though.

Anyway, does anyone have a good guide on exactly what fits without pointing to a website that thinks these cars have 4 inch dash speakers, no door speakers at all, and lists the round door speaker size for the rear deck (which takes oval speakers)

Cheers
Will
