Default Speaker Sizes

In my 90' im getting ready to install a stereo and alarm in it, and Im not sure what size speakers to get...

Theres the in-dash speakers, doors, and the rear seat speakers

I dont trust the fitment guides ive seen on the net' so I ask here for people with first hand experience

My educated guess would be -
Dash - 3x5
Doors - 5x7
Rear - 6x9

Also since I'm installing an alarm in the car - who should I go to for parts/installation?
Ive got a few places in mind so far but would like to evaluate all options if you all have had good experiences somewhere

Try to stay away form the oval speakers. get an adapter plate to run a round speaker. A round cone is stiffer (will play louder without distortion) than a oval.

And by the way you are no dummy put the alarm in yourself. Not a big deal. You can handle it I am sure.

Infiniti round speakers are better than the same line ovals. I did not like my Infiniti's, the cones warped from the summer heat.
