    Doors are 6" round in VT, people put 6.5" in with small modifications to the plastic behind the speaker.

    6x9 holes are already in the parcel shelf but just spot welded on with 4 small welds, it can be knocked out by hand or a hammer but be careful of the window.
    Other than that you will need to cut the parcel shelf (the top part) to fit grills. I think you need to leave about 1cm on the inside all around and then cut some holes for the clips to go in.

    So if you were to install 6x9s you would probably just need some wiring and speaker grills, a jigsaw and thats about all I can think of.

    Tek screws? Why not just go the whole hog and use railway pins?

    for wiring, you should be able to leave the wiring in the rear doors and just cut and join the speaker wires in the base of the B pillar and run them to the parcel shelf.

    As long as you have cut the wires to the rear speakers and not joined the rears and the parcel tray speakers.

    No, I removed the rear door speakers and covered the holes to keep road noise out.
