what size speakers do you have up front

i'm gonna purchase new speakers for the front and was wondering what sizes you have up front. I know with 6.5s it will require some modification, but was wondering how difficult that would be and/or what tools i would need to do this. Thanks.

I have huge magnets, but didn't need spacers for the fronts, just dremel the back of the bezel out.
