Default Which speakers fit the blue OEM housing?

I'm trying to track down a set of new speakers for the front doors on my 2-door 2002 Blazer. I got these from Amazon trusting when it says "this product fits your 2002 Chevy Blazer."

https://www.amazon.com/Audio-Systems-Reproductor-Altavoces-pulgadas/dp/B000J1FABY/ref=sxts_sxwds-bia-wc-p13n1_0?cv_ct_cx=boss+audio&dchild=1&keywords=boss+audio&pd_rd_i=B000J1FABY&pd_rd_r=8e10ffbc-bae2-4cea-b7d0-23433bf66b2b&pd_rd_w=iJAHX&pd_rd_wg=Lzjdt&pf_rd_p=d027eaac-7531-45fe-a61e-20ae30db06de&pf_rd_r=AG8TPS54W5AJNJA6J71K&psc=1&qid=1590820073&sr=1-1-70f7c15d-07d8-466a-b325-4be35d7258cc https://www.amazon.com/Audio-Systems-Reproductor-Altavoces-pulgadas/dp/B000J1FABY/ref=sxts_sxwds-bia-wc-p13n1_0?cv_ct_cx=boss+audio&dchild=1&keywords=boss+audio&pd_rd_i=B000J1FABY&pd_rd_r=8e10ffbc-bae2-4cea-b7d0-23433bf66b2b&pd_rd_w=iJAHX&pd_rd_wg=Lzjdt&pf_rd_p=d027eaac-7531-45fe-a61e-20ae30db06de&pf_rd_r=AG8TPS54W5AJNJA6J71K&psc=1&qid=1590820073&sr=1-1-70f7c15d-07d8-466a-b325-4be35d7258cc


These 6.5 inch speakers do not fit inside the blue housing that mounts onto the door. So, I'm trying to find a set that does. Any suggestions? I'll go for almost anything. I'm looking a quality pair under $100.

The below photos show the OEM speaker, and then the new BOSS audio speaker.

Looking up specs on what size speaker fits, I'm a little confused. I see 6"1/2 and 6"3/4 mentioned, but based on what I got here, I'd say I need 6"1/4 to fit this blue housing.

I might have had to drill some holes, can't remember but it was not a big deal. I think if you order from Crutchfield they include a stub that makes the electric connection simpler.

Yeah I figured a few holes would have to be drilled.
I ordered these JBL speakers off Amazon because they came with different kinds of mounting hardware.
I drilled holes to mount the bracket to the blue housing, then I screwed the speaker onto the bracket.
I'm very satisfied with the audio quality of these.

For the 6x9 rears I wanted to get the matching Kenwoods that Amazon said would fit my 2002 Blazer. But crutchfield said no they would not fit and recommended the Panasonic TS-G690. I went with Crutchfield and the fit was perfect, an exact match for the stock speakers.
