Thanks. You made me realize that speaker size does not necessarily take mount hole dimensions into account. 5.25" turned out to be the right size.

Squirrel boy, Thanks for reminding me to check window clearance (I'm surprised I did not think of it). I had plenty of it, but it is better to know than be surprised. I ended up going with dual cone like you said instead of 2 way speakers since they let the tweeters protrude from the front on those....There might have been enough room for that, but better safe than sorry.

The dead speaker in the passenger door has been changed, but I think I'll wait for the (Second!) new driver side power door lock motor to come to install the new driver side speaker (so the door is not disassembled more times than needed).

Since the old speaker had a foam seal on it's back to block air flow between it and the door frame I made a cardboard seal to approximate that.

Pictures of it.
