    What speakers are they? For the front or the rear?

    what size? if they are 6 inch they will fit nicely in both the front and rear.
    if they are 6.5 inch they will need spacers for the rear and the front door pods wil need to be cut or replaced with completely new custom pods for the speakers to fit.
    if the rears are 6x9s then again spacers will be needed.
    to fit the rears (if they are 6 inch) you just need to remove the grills and remove the old and screw in the new. if they are 6.5 or 6x9s then spacers out of MDF will need to be made and mounted on top of the exhisting holes on the chip board parsal shelf.
    the door skins will need to come off and again if they are 6 inch they will just slot straight in but if 6.5 inch then angles custom door pods will be the go. you can cut up the exhisting pods but it will not sound as good. i can post a couple of pictures of my MDF pods for the front and rear of my car that i made.
    also you can buy fiberglass mounts for the rear speakers but they are around 80-100. there is one last mounting option i have avioded mentioning because they are so damn ugly, they are small boxes for 6x9s that sit on the parsal shelf and look really bad and they cost around 100. enough said.
    any more questions ask away...........

    Door cards arent that difficult, the only hard part is getting the window winders off and getting the vents out of the doors.

    Are the speakers splits or coaxials? It will be easier to install coax.
