Answer
Here is the best and easiest way to learn if it will fit and if not what you need to make it go.

Crutchfield is the expert on things like this.  Go to their page or just click on this one:

and walk through this "outfit my car" sequence and when you get to the end you will learn what the mounting requirements are, sizes, equipment that will fit it and so on.  They are good and they don't make mistakes.  Hope this solves your installation.
