Paper door speakers? You sure? I've only ever seen poly cones in the door subs, other speakers were paper at some time in their lives. If you plan to change to 2 or 3 way speakers in the doors you may be disappointed with the results if you don't replace your Haes (4X40 or 6X40) amp. Those amps both have an internal low pass filter that chops any signal above 50Hz going to the doors, so those speakers won't get anything but low frequencies. If you're handy electronically, it has been written that the solder connections for the filters inside the amp can be undone. IIRC there is a write up on Rennlist. BTW, I kept the factory subs and replaced my Haes 6X40 amp with a 5-channel amp (I have the rear deck speakers). The two 5.25 door subs (wired in series they have 1 ohm resistance) will provide significant bass response, plus just think of all that fancy German engineering in the door card horns.
