the stock size is 5 1/4" all the way around, but you'll have to drill holes to mount speakers because of how mazda put in a 'three-hole' setup instead of 4 holes like most cars.

Stock speaker size is in fact 5.25" A 6.5" speaker will fit fine. If you consult the speaker sizing chart in Crutchfield catalog, it will confirm that the stock size is 5.25".
