Here's a suggestion, the JBL GTO series coaxial speakers DO fit behind the stock grilles. I used a set before I bought Focals.

The pioneer speakers from walmart seem to be relatively flush ompared to others and fit behind the stock grills.

Replace them (and headrest speakers).. Go to Walmart or other discount store and pickup a set of 6.5" speakers for about $50-70. Pioneer, Sony, etc. Also, add headrest speakers. 3.5" rounds will fit in the headrests. Cheap ones are fine. Make a wiring harness if you do not have one. There is not much reason to go much more expensive in a noisy convertible. You will be amazed at the difference over the worn out speakers.
