It's a little tricky to replace the door speakers. The originals will be riveted so you need to be prepared to drill them out.

As I recall the speaker covers snap onto a metal piece in the speaker frame. To reuse the old speaker covers, you may need to cut out the old speaker basket and mount the new speakers in the remaining metal piece.

Also be sure there is clearance between the rear of the new speakers and the window mechanism. There isn't much clearance there. I've mounted speaker on spacers but you can't move too far out from the door panel before there is interference with the window crank. If you have electric windows, that would help.

There must be better descriptions than I'm giving. Try a search in the archives. This topic comes up fairly often.
