just look on crutchfield.com and see what size speakers they are. and if they are the same size you can wire it up. if not then you can modify the door or the speaker. no biggie. easier than say a engine tune up? yeah...

The door speakers are 6" round. To get them out you just need to remove the door panel, the speaker is held in by a couple screws.

Its easy to run wire.. making it look good is the hard part sometimes.. like my truck is a custom.. no carpet or anything so i wouldnt really be able to hide wires going to the back... but as long as you have carpet it should be easy..

Just take all the phillips head screws out, they should be easy to find and are located along the outer edge of the door panel. There are also the screws in the handle and power lock/window button bezel. After you get these screws out you just pull the edges of the panel out, working your way around the outside, you will feel it becoming free. Once the panel is loose, just pull the power lock buttons through and twist out the door light. lastly, work the panel around the door handle and it will come out! Don't be afraid to be rough with it. If it's never been out it will take some muscle.
