Robert,
I also used the Pioneer 4" speakers (TSG1045)for the rear. If your speakers are like my rear speakers then the speaker and mounting plate are a one piece construction. If you want to use the original covers you will have to cut the speaker out of the plate. I tried this with mine but for that speaker you have to cut a pretty big hole. Also, the speaker didn't quite fit within the limits of the plate. I was getting so close to the upper part of the plate that it was bending the piece. I just abandoned that idea and mounted the aftermarket covers on the back. It still looks okay.
If you really want to keep the original covers ... first take off the door covers, drill the rivots out and take the plate/speaker with you to a local stereo store. You maybe can find another speaker that has a smaller O.D. and fits within the plate. I used tin snips to cut the hole and it was a mangled mess ... if you can find another way of getting a cleaner cut - do it.
Also the Pioneer speakers we are talking about have a smaller connection at the speaker than the factory wiring connection. So it is a pretty loose fit unless you use the wires they supply.
