Right, you have 2 options.
1. Use OEM speaker cable through the door.
2. Use uprated OFC speaker cable, but that involves threading new wire through the door loom.

Once you have decided one of the two options, you have another pair of options to choose from.

1. Mount the crossover network hidden behind the door card.
2. Mount the crossover network Outside the doorcard on display. If the crossover is mounted in the cabin, or boot, you will need 2 pairs of wire each side for tweets and mids.

Now the work begins.

1. Remove old speakers and plastic holder.
2. Prise old speakers off the holder.
3. Fetch the spacers.
4. Mount new woofers onto spacers. (I fitted my MB Quart) woofer behind due to the angle of the basket, and to be honest I couldnt be arsed to file it as it was a ferfect fit behind, and it was about to rain (always rains in UK).
5. Connect the wire to the woofer, then screw the spacer with the woofer already mounted onto the door. The wire should be run through the little gap at the top between the plastic holder and spacer.
6. Now your woofer is screwed in, and wire dangling you can fit the crossover etc as you see fit, from the decisions you made about how you want it set up.

Time: Once planned, about 30 minutes a side.
Needed: Phillips screwdriver , Flat screwdriver, silicone sealant, precision screwdriver, soldering iron (for the prefectionists), crimp connectors.

Hope this helps.
