Door Panels

Im about to buy new door panels for my ‘89. Which aftermarket company do ya’ll recommend (price/ reputation)?
Also, when I got the old panel off I found this. It has the Bose system, do I just need to find a C4 Bose speaker? Is the amp built into the speaker?
Thanks...

To remove the inner panels does not require removal of the Bose speakers, only removal of the speaker covers.

This is what it looked like when I removed the panel. Somebody has previously removed the speaker. So the speaker/ amp just bolts into that hole? Also, every new door panel I’ve looked at on the web doesn’t have the square cut out for the speaker. Would I have to cut the opening myself?

Yes you have to cut the hole yourself however it should be laid out on the backside of the panel so you will know exactly where to cut it. I just replaced one of mine and it is not a big issue.
