Ordered the front and rear door speakers on Thursday with regular shipping were supposed to come on 5/16-18 but they showed up today!. Got them installed tonight. OMG they are a HUGE improvement over the stock speakers. I got JBL Club speakers for front and rear doors. Will post pics tomorrow and try to upload some video's to YouTube of before and after sound comparison

Heres is the original 6x9 speaker after I removed the cone and magnet so I could use the mounting ring and factory plug

I installed them today I went cheap aftermarket on this mod. Got LED strips at a local auto parts store connected them inside the door panels with PosiTaps to existing 12v and ground took a dremel tool and cut a slot in the door handle pockets behind the door handle. All I wanted was just enough light in the door handle pockets so people in the back seat could easily find the door handles so not the cleanest installation but it only cost me about $25 and it works. Will take some pics in a few hopefully they will turn out.

Looks good Steve. Not overly bright. Just enough so you don't have to go feeling around for the handles. Nice work!
