The PO did not hack the door panels to drop in the typical 6.5" round speakers in the doors (like I did) so being thankful for that...

the stock speaker grilles are empty showing the painted body.

What do you use to keep the original look but upgrade the sound over stock speakers?

This car doesn't need a killer stereo, so do I just put stock speakers back in???

These almost fit without mods, and probably would be fine for most people. I made adapter plates.

And they sound great.

I ran moderate gauge 2-way speaker wire. BTW, this is what I use to drive the speakers. It is hidden in the center console, with the control box mounted in the center arm rest. I have no radio visible in the dash.
