I'm guessing your setup will not work for people with power windows?

Edward: I have installed 6.5 Focal Mid bass drivers in my front
doors some years ago. Stating the obvious, the map pocket will have
to disappear on the driver's side and some sheetmetal will have to be
removed to get the frame to fit in the door. I'm not sure which line
of speakers Best Buy considers their best, but I doubt they sell
Focal, MB Quart, or Boston Acoustics. I've not been in the stereo
mode for cars lately, but you might be better off getting a good
amplifier from Best Buy and spending cash on the speakers from
somewhere else. Really good speakers make the wimpy chip amp in most
head units sound like crap. As you attempt to improve the sound
system in your vehicle, remember that the building of the system
starts with the source material, then the electronics, and then the
transducers.
