Speakers 4th gen
Just finished installing my front door speakers (sorry didn't take pictures). What a big nuisance it was. I put in a set of Peerless midbass woofers. I had to cut a mdf shape with a 6.5" hole in it, tnut it, drill out/countersink holes, then bolt that bastard where that stupid black plastic frame is. Now amazingly the mdf bolted on well but the tnuts didnt quite line up so I was only able to screw in 3 of the 4 screws holding the peerless in. 
. I used a frost king foam weatherstripping to seal it and its fairly tight now I guess. How do you guys handle these installs? MDF ring? Right now I have to add a set of tweeters and take the rear deck out to put 2 more Peerless woofers. I was probably going to use pyramid car tweeters with the supplied crossover because my local indy electronics store doesnt stock anything else and I only have a few more days to go before I am back at college with no time to waste (so I can't wait for partsexpess). My question is, how hard are the rear speakers to get out? Is the mounting frame as proprietary on the rear deck as the door ones? I am sick of cutting MDF. The door speaker was sort of a 20 hour+ project. Cut MDF, fit to door, doesn't fit, chuck, repeat.

yep got them out in about a half hour. Rewired them to my head unit with 16 guage instead of factory wiring harness. Decided to leave them stock instead of peerless because I have 4 peerless woofers, might as well have a back up in case the fronts blow and same for the panasonic whizzers that come with it. Gonna go get the cheapo pyramid/pyleocrap tweeters and get whatever has the lowest frequency range. The midbasses I have in the front seem to only go to about 70hz to 2000hz.
