Gotta remove the door panel to do it. What's the best speaker recommendation? Kinda like asking which one of your kids is yur favorite. Better go over to the audio forum and ask over there.
BTW, read up on the systems we have, i.e. Bose/non-Bose, etc. You can't just yank out the factory Bose door speakers and expect new ones to work with the factory head unit for example.
Good luck

You'll be able to get a ton of help in the audio/electronics forum.

Door panel comes off within 3 minutes after doing it once. You can get directions from the Vette Essentials website.
