Installing aftermarket speakers is not a difficult job. There may be shops that do wonderful installs, I have yet to experience one. Remember, no one cares more for your vehicle than you do. Just my 2 cents...

The clearance between the speakers and door panels was perfect. I don't see what all the fuss is about, just be sure you purchase the Polk slim version, DB651 (S).
