Finally got around to replacing the dash speakers last weekend with a pair of Polk 4" speakers (Crutchfield $39). No issues with install or mounting as all has been coverered here. I did not cut any factory wiring as I reused the connectors on the OEM plastic mount.
What I wanted to share is simply that I had no idea how poor a condition my OEM speakers were in. I really hadn't had and rattling or buzzing issues, I justed wanted to replace as it was easy and cheap.
My foam surrounds were half disintegrated, with a light cover of foam present all over the factory grills. The sound from the new speakers is a very nice improvement over the OEM and well worth the $$ and time required.
