I've always found _www.crutchfield.com_ (http://www.crutchfield.com)
 a good source for car stereo equipment. You can hit the site and type in you
 vehicle make and model and they will give you the list of what will be an
"exact" fit into your rig.

I got some from crutchfield that just fit in the door opening, but needed
window crank extentions so the cranks would clear. There is another clearance
issue that it sounds like you're aware of, where the door mounted speaker is
overlapped by the dash board when the door is closed. So the speaker grill
clearance, even with electric windows, is an issue.

I mounted my speakers years ago so I don;t remember the model, and they're
likely not available anymore, anyway. But like I said Crutchfield has been a
good source in the past.

Also if ever buying a car stereo Crutchfield sells their units with the
direct plug and play harness adapters for your vehicle so you can use the  factory
connections. Makes the install much easier in my opinion.

DISCLAIMER: My family has owned crutchfield for years and we are extremely
wealthy. Nah, c'mon. I have no interest in the company and am merely sharing my
 good experience in the past.

Best,
