Cool, man. However, don't pay any mind to what Crutchfield says about the 6x9's not fitting. The problem there is that Cruchfield doesn't have adapters specific to the gen3 that will work for aftermarket 6x9's. You will have to either drill new holes for the new 6x9's or get an adapter. The adapter is a much easier option. I bought a pair of adapters from ebay for less than $20.

Now I know a some(and I know they'll throw in thier 2 cents) will say the ebay adapters are not good, but I've had mine in for almost 2 years, and haven't had any problems with them. Here is the thread dealing with just that issue...
rear speakers questions
Now you decide, what is really better? Expensive, , time consuming, custom made, MDF adapters, or the inexpensive, fast, ready made, plastic adapters.
Either way it's up to you.
Albuynp Ryeno doesn't have rear speakers because that's how he likes it, and he has a subwoofer. I would suggest getting 6x9's because the smaller front speakers can only reproduce a narrower range of sound frequencies compared to 6x9's. Because 6x9's have a larger woofer cone, they can reproduce a wider range of frequencies. Typically more, low frequencies than the front speakers. i.e. deeper bass. which is good if you don't have a subwoofer.
I have 6.75" front speakers, 6x9's in the rear deck, and a Pioneer shallow mount sub.
