Many aftermarket speakers will fit with some custom brackets. As long as you have the right size speakers, the brackets will not be hard. Just find some scrap plastic and self-tapping screws.

i replaced mines last year and all you do is take the speaker grill that your new speaker supplies you with and use the round ring as a guide to mark on the door and drill. yes it will reguire drilling cause the stock holes wont fit the new speaker positions. seperate the grill part from the round ring to get the ring by itself and take a marker and mark where you want to drill for the new screws.

I thought about drillin new holes, but I wasn't sure if it would damage anything. I didn't wanna take that chance. Will I hafta dynamat anything if i drill new holes? cuz it might cause some buzzing at high volume levels (which is why i bought these speakers anyways...) If I change my mind about drilling, where can I get custom brackets? The speakers came with a bunch of tiny little metal clip things that look like adjusters. We weren't sure what to do with those, so we kept them aside.

Those are not adjusters. They are mounting tabs that you put behind the screws, like nuts with bolts.

UPDATE: I put my new speakers in today. It took a while. I tried to make custom brackets to put on, but after a few mistakes i got frustrated and just drilled 'em into the metal. They sound great! Putting the door back together was a chore in itself, because it was getting dark and lining everything up was a pain. The door is slightly off but it's nothing noticeable unless u know about it.
