Sorry I didn't see your question sooner Diego. I test fit the set of Polk DB501 that I bought to put in the rear of the car, and they fit just fine. Granted, not all speakers are the same, so it's best to measure the speaker pods before you buy speakers.
Alternatively, KevinM had a group buy on here that was for a really nice replica of the 91-92 6.5" door pods. I have them in my car, and am very happy with the results.

I removed the rear pods and cut out the factory 5" mounting flange so that there was a square opening. I then used Liquid Nails to glue in a square piece of 3/4" MDF with a 5" cutout for a 5.25" midrange speaker (hole smaller than actual cone diameter). Not a lot of work and the end result is awesome. This also allows you a wide range of cheap component (or coaxial) speakers to choose from. I ordered a $45 set of Blaupunkt components off of Amazon to get the midrange drivers. I also used coaxial 3.5" dB Drive mids in the back seat location and added the cap(acitor) from the factory 3.5" to the woofer. This way I have a (almost) true 3-way system with decent imaging for the highs while still using passive 2-way crossovers.
For the front: Use the 6.5" door pods to add a 2-way 6.5/tweeter component setup. Not much room to install x-overs in the doors, so I ran an extra pair of wires through the door loom and mounted them inside the kick panels. Also, I saw recently that there is an eBay seller that is making 6.5" pods for the panel inserts below the rear 1/4 windows. This is likely a better idea than modding the rear factory enclosures, as my idea will only neatly allow for a 5.25" speaker.

Hey I have a 86 turbo and I'm looking to put in a Kenwood kdc-x994 deck and I was wondering if anyone could give me a wire diagram either a pic of just give me the wire functions by color

If you buy from the right place (crutchfield for example, costly but it's because they have to pay for their awesome customer service somehow) it should come with an adapter and a wiring diagram so you don't have to cut into the car's harness; you make your own. This is mine (on the right, the connector came with the stereo and plugs into it. on the left, came with my purchase and connects to the car:
Edit: Sorry I'm visiting my parents and don't have the diagram around me.
That's what I was thinking about doin but the owner before me put in a pioneer in and cut up all the wires so I might just take it in and have someone else put a harness in soo I don't mess it up lol but thanks for the answer
You'll pay more to have someone clean up the mess made by the previous owner. I would post a "want to buy" ad and get someone to send you the factory stereo wiring connector and wire it in, then go to wal-mart and buy the toyota harness adapter. Thern you can swap radios till the cows come home without having to cut anything. Screw Crutchfield and their inflated prices and incorrect fitment info.
Here's the diagram you requested. It is for a late model MKIII, but it should do the trick. More diagrams here:

There's no 86 Turbo in North America, but there's been a turbo MKIII from day 1 in Japan..
also, if you need an 86.5 stereo harness, PM me, I have one for sale..
Had a quick question i'm bout to buy some OEM 6.5" Speaker pods to put in my 88 behind the 88 door panels and i know they will fit but about half the speaker will be covered by the door. For the people who have already done this do your speakers sound muffled? or is sound quality compromised by the door panel?

You have to remove the rear panel, and then unbolt the speaker pods and then finally unscrew the speakers out. Set aside atleast 2 hours if youve never done it before.
Not sure if it's been said or asked, do the front door cards need to be fully removed to replace the front speakers or do the covers pop off thanks
