I love Polk db series...I love their soft dome Isilk?) tweeters and the smooth highs they give compared to the harshness of a lot of the other tweeters on the market.

They fit without cutting out back , just open up hole with dremmel to fit larger dia. speaker ....use Crutchfields to get speaker specs.

Just use speakers that have a high db rating and your stock system with power it with no problem.
