Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Leading evidence: 'Use oem-baffles.html' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Use oem-baffles.html' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

A word of caution!!!
The door speakers in the lower front are *woofers* and as such need a different set of speaker types. If theyre dead, check the amp rather than repalce them - theyre pretty good once you swap out the ancient stock speakers in the dash and rear.
thanks and good advice
would sth like this work then?

if not what do I need to be looking to buy?
eabeukes is spot on, 'woofers' are bass only, the higher frequencies (most of what you listen to) come through the other speakers.
The speakers you have shown are full range, one speaker to cover all the frequencies. There are other factors too, the speakers have an impedance (similar to electrical resistance) and this determines the loading on the amplifier, you would want a similar value to the current speakers and finally, the efficiency of speakers varies considerably, if the new speakers are too efficient, they will be too loud, too inefficient and.........
Speakers of the same size may also have different fittings, typically but not always 4 bolts and even these may be spaced unevenly.
Best bet is to talk to stick to standard speakers or a local car audio specialist before buying.
If you get componant speakers, I.e. with a separate tweeter then you can just fit the 5.25" woofer. Something like EBay item number 262574627975 will do the job

There are a number of 986 forum posts on how you can actually fit (vastly more common = cheaper for better quality) 6.5" woofers into the doors with a bit of modification:

I would suggest using good brand speakers all round - the cheap ones are just not worth the hassle of changing them all out - Hertz, Audison, Polk, Rainbow are all great names.
Have you swapped the dash speakers as yet? Those make vastly more difference to the sound profile of the car than the woofers do - so much that I'm thinking to actually leave the woofers for now and do the sub next instead.
