I don't remember seeing anything specific on it. The rear speaker mounts to a plastic plate which mounts to the interior door. When you pop off the panel you'll see how easy it is to get speakers to fit. The only real issue is depth, like i've mentioned. You'll also see a drip guard on the back of the plastic plate, pay attention to where the stock speaker is in relation to this so you can use it to gauge the new speakers. If you do go with components in the rear, the install will change. The woofer of the component is the same amount of work. You'll need to pick out and cut out where the tweeters will mount and then find a place for the crossovers. Not too bad but more than what some people plan on.

Yea, I'm going with with 5.25 Kicker KS50.2's in the back and 6.5 Infinity Reference 6020CS components in the front.
And about the tweeters in the back, any specific place I should mount them?

Yea. Been thinking and decided I might as well go ahead and get an amp too since everyone says it makes a huge difference. I'm probably going to get the Hifonics amp you showed me unless I can find a better one.

On tweeter install on the rears you don't need to do any major cutting and do like my friend did on his and he just made a very small hole on the rear door insert and pushed the tweeter wires through and used fabric adhesive to keep the tweeter in place and the tweeter is light enough the adhesive will keep it in place;my firend did his over 5 years ago and still looks great.

Is this a good spot for the tweeter?

Thanks for making this thread, I had the same exact questions 
Let us know how the install goes! I have a JL Audio 300/4 right here waiting to be hooked up but I didn't know what setup to get! I may get the same Infinity components in the front and maybe just some 2-ways in the rear.
Question: are the grills/protectors for the Infinity 6020CS speakers interchangeable?

Yea, I've been looking at all kinds of component speakers for the past week. Originally I went with a pair of Alpine Type-S's but the Infinities are just too good to pass up for $96 (shipping included).
Here are the Infinities if you wana check 'em out.
And, why do so many people stick to coax's in the back? I know their just for filler but I know a rear tweeter and a good set of components would sound much better.

Looks like it in the picture, but I'm not 100% sure. I sure hope they are though.

Unless you adjust the imaging of the tweeters for the driver, you will not notice a difference between coax and components in the rear.

Components have to sound a little better/different in the rear if the tweeters are about window height. And I think the Kicker tweeters I got for the back have a swivel with them.

Yeah mounting them at that height would definitely make a difference and then you should swivel them towards the center
