I put a set of Jensen 6.5" components in the front doors with the tweeters mounted in the upper door panel. They sound great with my new pioneer head unit. It took me a while to find these speakers as cost was an issue for me as well, but I finally went into a smaller stereo shop and they had these on display. These speakers were the floor model and they were the last set he had so he gave me the set with crossovers and everything for $70. Might be worth looking around to try to find a deal. And the 6.5" fit fine in the front door. They don't sit flush like the old speakers did but they more than clear the door panel and I didn't have to cut the door itself at all for them to fit. Only problem would be that now my front windows don't roll down all the way as they hit the magnet on the back of the speaker, but they still go down 3/4 of the way so I can live with it. Good luck in your search!
