Suggestions on Front Door Speakers

Hey everyone!

I am hoping I could get some suggestions on good front door speakers in a 2009 aveo5.

I am wanting to bump up to 6.5 inch speakers, and don't want to break the bank.

I believe I will need 1in spacers for both doors, and a door panel remover. Would I need anything else? And are speakers practically plug and play? Do I have to do anything special to the wires or will the speakers just plug right in.

Thanks for all the help guys, it seems every time I go to buy speakers, I chicken out because I am not quite sure what all I need.

Alright, did some research and I am not sure if these will work, but they seem to be slim fit and should fit with the 1 in spacer. I do NOT want to cut into the door panel, so I want the door panel to fit and the window to go all the way down. Will these work and will they produce nice quality sound? I don't want to have to buy an amp or anything like that. Just want to upgrade.

Im a fan of MTX audio clear and crisp sound! I currently have MTX 6.5 components in the front, MTX 3 -ways in the rear and 2 12" MTX jackhammer subs running off an 1800 watt amp. Its a decent system!

That sounds nice, just don't really know how to go about adding the sub and amp.

Thank you so much for the help, will I have to crimp the wires of the speakers to fit them in the doors? Or could they just plug right in without having to worry about messing with the wiring.

Thanks! That helps me out tremendously. I have another question, one of my good friends told me that the current oem amp is too weak to work with these speakers. He said that it can actually damage them pretty badly.

My question is if this is true or not, and if so, how hard is it to install a better amp for these speakers?

I know nothing about amps so this is new territory for me.

Well he might be right if you turn it to loud ( distortion Bad very bad ), There no AMP in the car! So it might not be as loud as with a AMP even( distortion Bad very bad ).
See if you like it first, you can all was get one after. Some one that know stereo's can help you at that point. or go to a stereo shop for your first amp set up.

Thanks again for all the help, you really cleared all this up for me and I think I am ready to finally get these speakers and install them. Maybe I should create a how to with pictures that way others have a clear understanding of how it works.
