The kick panel speaker is by the front driver/passenger's feet, not on
the door. The kick panel speaker is actually not that bad. Far more
generous than the read ones.
The door contains a tiny tweeter, the grill makes the speaker look far
bigger than is really is.
As for the rear, they are rather pathetic, and unfortunately a custom
fit. However you can get an adapter from most good car audio shops
that will allow a standard 6"x 9" speaker to be fitted which will do
wonders for the sound.
Hope this helps,
Dodgy.
