Are they bose? If so this is common and an easy fix is to glue them. It's been done before with great success. I think there is even a write-up on it.

Either way, I think each speaker has it's own amp and is a pita to replace without wiring a new aftermarket amp in. As long as its just a tear and it hasn't crumbled to peices, you could still glue it back together. One little blown speaker could mean an investment in a whole new system if you arent careful... Unless thats what you're going for.

your stock amp (under the driverside rear speaker) won't work with your aftermarket speakers, the rears are run by that amp, and the fronts are run by the deck. you can fit 6.5s in the rear deck without cutting
