Decide what sort of music you listen to most in the car. Work out what sort of bass levels you want, bassed both on music vs volume level, offset this against how much you want to spend and how much room you want to sacrifice. Decide then if volume matters, if you want music clarity with or just volume.
If you want clarity, you need quality speakers, in good locations. With a good source. If you want volume then you need speakers that have power handling, an amp to put out the power and a good solid mounting for them. Please DO NOT put them straight into the parcel shelf. Accidents happen and people get hurt when 6 x 9's hit the back of their head.
If you have cut the door panels already that's a good base to build some custom pods. Try different positions for the fronts before building to get locations and angles right. Try to do this with someone in the passenger seat to get around their body as well.
You can shoehorn just about anything into anything, just be creative. Listen to all. Follow some. Read lots about positioning of speakers, wiring, sub location, and look for examples of other cars of the same type and see what they have done.
It's always a comprimise (unless you're American and sponsored by a company). Again, decide what sound you want, how loud, how much money to spend and how much space to save.
