Since the company I was ordering the speakers from wanted another 50$ for shipping I decided to just get these instead.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008K2ENIA?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00

Give it another week for them to come it and hopefully I can get these installed soon after that. Also got some speaker baffles to install with each speaker so that the dust and water will stay off them also make the sound quality better or doors speakers. Those will be in Monday.

One question I did have is does anyone know where the wires for the front for and pillar slit at and also the rear door and rear pillar split at. If I can't find an answer here soon Ill have to work some to find where is splits so I can tie the cross over into those for the pillars and rear pillars for tweeters. Also found out that I will have to find out how to mount the tweeters onto the factory spots. Fabrication looks to be in my future, yay. . .

These came in today and I just may have enough time to get the doors in today and then I'll be able to figure out how to get the pillars in now depending on what I can fab up for the tweeters

I was able to get all four doors done and will have to work on tweeters for the pillars some more since I have to find a way to mount them to each location.

All four doors were basically the same. I cut out all the plastic pieces holding the speaker together so that all I had left was a factory mounting bracket. My speakers were just the right size that all I had to do was bend 4 small ears on each of them so they fit snugly into the recessed part of the bracket. The pictures are of how I mounted the speakers onto the bracket after I broke all the factory speaker stuff off then the other is how I mounted the baffles. Looks good and sounds good overall turned out to be better and easier than I expected. After the first one I was able to do the other 3 in about 30 min tops.
