71 RR Rear Speaker Size?

Is the rear speaker "Factory Openings" for a 5 X 7 or 6 X 9 speaker?

The 5x7 size is technically the hole stamped into the package tray for the rear window defogger option, I believe. IT looks like a speaker hole, but it's not.

My '71 charger 500 had rear window defogger and it had a 6x9 mounted against the drivers side in the rear and on the passengers side there was was a spacer housing that drew air for the rear defog and under that was a 6x9 speaker mounted so that the rear defog actually actually drew in air from the spacer above the 6x9. Now the speakers were not stock chrysler speakers but it didnt look like the mounts were modified at all.

Edit: You know from a google search about 1 bazillion ppl mention rear defog in their car descriptions but not one take a pick of it.

2nd edit: Here is my super sweet photoshop drawing of what it looked like: Linky I would use the img code to embed the pic but when I do you can only see part of it without any scroll bars to view it all (I have noticed that with alot of img pics ppl have posted in threads)
