ive just got one door fitted using the 5000cs's (infinity's) and there abit of a git to get in (on a Corsa B). Yea im abit worried about the water, but you cant really do anything about it can ya....u could try wraping them in plastic, but it will cause them to sound abit weird. As for the tweeters, you r not going to get them behind the grill, although you could glue the gray holder in missing out the surface mount and then you might beable to.
As for the adaptors, go down to your local ICE or halfords and pick up some autolead 13cm (?) jobbies.
Anyways hope it all goes well mate

yea i suppose sealant wouldnt hurt, although max sure there isnt any metal bits in it Although ive wacked sum electrical tape around my contacts on the 5".
As for the adaptors, for my 5" ones i paid 13 squid from halfords, although according to the box there was suppose to be adaptor leads and other bits but nevermind.
And the tweeters, well mine are tiny, but once you've got them in the holder and in the mount (surface etc) then they become right gits. Me and my old man was trying to find away to get them behind the grill, but it would have meant either drilling into the metal work to secure the bolt on the back or saw the bolt off and glue them it. If your in a dodgy area it might be worth doing, since they wont show up as much behind a the standard grill wheres mine stand out like sore thumbs
