I got the dimensions for the member wanting to put the door speakers in. I could never find his post with any search. Here is what I have to report for him or her. The hole for the boot in the A-Pillar is 1.250" I measured a car and I also have NOS speaker kits with the instructions in them that say 1.250" What is odd is that the instructions do not give the door hole size. I measured the door and it is 1.910" with caliper. I measured the NOS boot and one end 2.0" and the other 1.75". That is all I can report I just cannot find the original post. Searched for Door speakers, and several other combinations but nothing. 
here is pics of the Ford install sheet with the NOS speakers and harness. Does not give hole in door size.

Ok made it out to the shop again with the key this time, 85 deg. here today. I took a couple pictures of a car with door speakers with the front fender off. Removing the front fender is much better solution than removing the door. I will also allow you clean all the leaves and stuff that gets inside there. You have to take a half dozen bolts out from grill, the ones under the hood the ones on the bottom of the fender, the fender brace and the one that goes in from the door. Not a bad job once you do it.
I put dimensions on the .xps attached. Let me know if you need more info I will try to help.
The .xps file does not show up but put in twice. Let me know if it does not work.
Ok when I looked at the post the .xps does not show up.
You can see in the picture I took measurement from the lower hinge on the door to the bottom of the hole and added 1/2 the hole. So from the top of the hinge to the center of the hole in the door is 3 5/16" (3.312").
For the A post hole from the top of the bottom hinge mounted to A post to the center of the hole is 3 1/16" (3.062). From the rear of the A post to the center of the hole is 1 11/16" (1.687"). There should be a dimple in both positions that is what the factory used when they cut the holes.

I am pretty sure I posted the template for cutting the holes. I have a couple NOS sets of door speakers. Have 4 cars with them also.
Here are the scans of the install instructions.
The 71 grills are different they only have one vertical bar the 72 & 73 are like in the previous pic posted with 3 bars up and down.
You could blow a new set of speakers the first time you turned it up they were not so good.

Thanks David for the door speaker pictures. They are a great help as I am just finishing off my new door cards and was wondering if you could give me the measurements for the speaker covers from the bottom of the door card and from the front of the card. The original diagrams mention knocking out the perforated holes but the new fiberglass cards don't have these.
