Default Speaker Size Conversion

My friends got 2 6x9 speakers that he is gonna give to me if I want them. Problem is, my Jeep's speakers are 5-1/4".

Anyone know a way to make them fit?

Any ideas are greatly appreciated.

Anything in particular to watch for while cutting?

Will I need to upgrade wiring or anything?
