I appreciate all the feedback!

I forgot to mention that I already have a Kenwood DNX8120 installed. Not sure if this will help out in the power department for the door speakers?

I mean for now I guess I would just like to use the stock wiring as it is already there. I'll be honest, I am a little intimated about snaking wire through the hose of the door. If I can get away with stock wiring I would definitely like to go that route. Opinions on this please?
But I am a little confused on this issue because if I am not adding an amp why would I run new wiring? Add new wiring from the harness to the new set speakers...for what?

In the future I will be installing an amp to power a sub. Can someone clarify for me how I would power the door speakers in addition to the sub. Do I just add speaker wire to the amp in addition to the speaker wire going to the sub? In other words place the wire in the same "port/under screw" on the amp? I might just not power the speakers with an amp if there really is no advantage in doing so. Maybe the DNX8120 will give them enough power?

Im going to try the install with the spacers coming with the Polk unit. Hopefully I will be good to go without any issues.

As far as the tweeters go I have read I can just make a bracket pretty easily out of ABS or even cardboard.
