I can't help you with the fronts, but the back ones should take 6.5's pretty easy. The screws might not fit exactly right, and they won't screw in all the way, but they should hold the speaker firmly in place.

Hey. I want to put some 100 pound 18" subwoofer in my doors, but don't want to do any modifications to make it fit. Think it'll work?

6x9s in the front that is to much work and a wast of time and money. Just get a nice set of 6.5in components. Or you can just get a good set of 6.5in i recommend the eclipse point source's and then throw a nice small amp to them. I run just the normel 6.5in eclipse 3-way speakers. They sound sweet and look nice to!!

Cut some metal in the hole to make it more oblong, probably cut some plastic from the door panel underneath the grille, then make a mounting baffle out of 1/4" sheet plastic or hardboard.

6.5's wont fit perfectly in the back then? That kinda sucks. Can I use the same wiring that's already there to put into my new speakers? Or how do I install the new ones by myself?

First off even if you couold fit 6x9's in the front doors and still be able to roll down the window, Why would you...... It's proven that a good set of 6.5 components are alot louder and cleaner than any 6x9 coaxial can sound. As for rear speakers once again why? a good sound stage is done in the front, If anything you use rears as a filler but in as small a car as the mx-3 and the mounting options available its a moot point...Point being the placement and housing for the rear speakers sounds anything but good. If you were to do any rear speakers the best placement would be the rear side panels on the side of the back seat which will require modifications. My 2 cents.
