Good luck, but before you do the job, consider buying a couple of tweeters on e-bay. The 7.00-12.00 dollar ones will work fine. You use them to cover the holes in the door. Also, you can hook them up to the speakers. They do add to the sound, and by using tweeters it looks like you did it on purpose, not like the round disks that come with the kits.
You really do get better sound on the tweeters. I have mine 'swiveled' up, and you can really hear the violins and flutes better on classical.
Unlike Woofers, you can save a buck or three on tweeters, they all sound very much alike.

Colibli disks cut off, I didn't cut the holes (didn't need to) that the instructions call for.
Gray Buttons, looked better than the black disks the Colibri and others come with. You DO NOT have to cut the holes bigger and put their caps in. On one side the crank end was well inside the panel, on the others adding a quarter inch spacer on the closest stand off moved the spline inwards enough to put anything you want over the holes. Easy work.
Super cheap tweeters, crossovers come with them, hidden inside the doors.
If I didn't like what they did for my sound, I would have flush mounted them, which would look very nice. But since they do help the sound, I put the swiveling mounts on them.
