The rear door speakers have a mounting bracket built with the speaker. To replace those you will need to build a mounting bracket - MDF board works well.
If your plan is to replace only the speakers and not the HU/amp, then I would advise against changing the speakers. First, it will not sound any better and second, you stand a very good chance of blowing the new speakers. The existing amp is very underpowered, as you increase the volume to get more/better sound the amplifier is driven into overload and begins to flattop. This effectively creates squarewaves into the speakers on certain musical passages. A squarewave is (for short periods of time) nothing but a DC voltage. DC volatge is not good for a speaker - too much, too often and the speaker is not a speaker anymore.

Thanks a bunch for the info. Sounds like i need to install an amp as well, no problem. Can you suggest an amp? I am pretty knowledgeable on speakers I may want but never really dealt with amps.
Thanks
Mike
