Basically the speakers that fit our cars are oversized 6.5's, dubbed "6.5 S", which actually are 6 3/4.

Those speakers will fit fine.

I am running the exact same ones up front, and older Infinity Refrence in the back.

Instead of holding onto 4 screws, they are on 3.

It is fine, and btw, Inifinity does not make 6 and 3/4

Infinity does too make 6.75" speakers, or else what do I have in my car??? Their older Kappa's were 6.52i's I believe, but I know for a fact they are 6.75s, I have them in my car, and in my GFs 97 Jetta.

WHY? it is more expensive to buy twice the speakers and it draws the soundstage back (undesirable).
Leaving them out has two very positive effects, it improves the sound imaging, and it is cheaper... win-win situation.
