This is what dropped my satisfaction level. It took several hrs to figure out the best way to make them fit. Turned out fine / solid but definitely not plug and play. Feel free to PM me on what I did if you go with them. I am very happy with the sound quality.

BTW
Replaced the door speakers with Infinity Kappa 52.7i ($85 at Etronics) and am very happy with them. This was an easy replacement. I spent more time CAREFULLY removing the door pad than replacing the speakers. They are basically plug and play. Some members say go with 6 1/2 speakers in the door but I didn't feel like doing that much customization so I stuck with the 5 1/4.
Was there any cutting or soldering involved with the dash speakers?

Did you have to alter the speaker housing on the door at all or did it fit in the existing space?

I read the instructions on taking the door apart to get to the speakers and I must admit it looked like a daunting task. I am fairly handy but to me it looked pretty complicated. Is it as hard as it looks or am I just being a pansy?
