I've yet to hear a Ford OEM speaker worth wasting 5 minutes of my time to use as an upgrade...and the SONY ones are no different.
And if taking a few minutes to remove a door panel is too difficult, perhaps your local Toyota dealer has a nice Prius for you.

I don't know where you found that ghetto *** install video, but you did see my picture I posted right ???? NO CUTTING of the factory harness & used the factory speaker door mounts to install my new Infinity speakers. The only thing you're gutting out is the factory speaker from the factory mount. You obviously haven't heard the Sony system from Ford or read the numerous complaints from people about the quality of it. I've got about $250 in all my speakers & the sound quality will by far BLOW AWAY any factory system. It just took a little elbow grease & know how to do it.

You're right.....let me clarify myself in saying that by me adding top of the line Infinity 6x9's, 6.5" & 3.5" speakers still won't compare with a stock Rolls Royce sound system.....is that better. But just a little tidbit for you, replacing factory 4-6 ohm speakers with 2 ohm speakers is like adding a small amp to your stock system without the wiring headache.

I am wanting to upgrade my speakers soon, was out here trying to figure out what everyone is using. Do you mind sharing the speakers you got for the back and center also? Anyone know are the speaker sizes the same for the SCAB as the SCREW? I looked at Crutchfield and the are recommending 6.5 for the front of my SCAB.

I was going to do exactly what you did, but I decided to just gut the factory mounts as to not drill holes in my door & be able to use all factory connectors. Not really worried about losing the speakers if I get rid of it.
