are these the kevlar splits?
if so, are they going into a sprinter?
if you answered yes to both of the above,
time for me to give something back to my lovely, lovely toyota community 
i just installed these in my car, and i am pretty happy with how it turned out, but it took quite a while to install them, as there isnt much space in the doors.
i mounted the tweeters on aluminium strips in the standard 4 inch speaker holes so cunning car theives wont see them on my dashboard.
the woofers took some thought, after cutting away a fair amount of metal on the drivers side, i got sick of it and just made some spacers out of 16mm MDF to make it a bit easier, trial fitted them a hundred times and then bit the bullet and cut the holes for them.
they fit perfectly now and dont vibrate against anything.
to run wires into the doors, i bought some clear flexible tube from bunnings and ran it through a hole i made in the removable rubber plug/seal that is in the door (kinda oval shaped) the drilled holes in the body, installed grommets and ran the wire through, make sure you use pipe big enough to fit the speaker cable easily inside it, its very hard to push/pull through.
if you like i will measure the distance from the edge of the doorskin to the edge of the speaker grille, it will save you heaps of trouble.
oh yeah, as a point of interest, the "reciept and general shit holder" in the drivers door would have got int the way of the speaker, so i pissed it off. it has loads of japanese writing on it and the inscription "AE85" so there is a bit to add to the "is an AE86 an AE85 discussion"
have fun!
