The quick connects for the wires are not there, just soldered wires going somewhere in the door. I went to EASY in Oakland and got a speaker and harness. I'm planning to pull the door card to investigate what is needed to get back to stock. Thanks people for all the tips.
keep in mind that "stock" on these door speakers leaves a lot to be desired. Specifically, the speakers are simply affixed to the door card (which is heavy cardboard). There are a number of threads that discuss how folks have made more robust speaker mounts by using stronger material (cutting boards, etc.) behind the door card that screw directly into the door.
