You want to look up "driver side inner apron"
You also may need a core support. We need some pics to see what your really gonna need.

Speakers are easily up-gradable also. Stock your jeep has 5.25" speakers. Any aftermarket 5.25" speaker will just plug and play.
I personally stuck 6.5" speakers in my doors and rear soundbar - fitting them was easy in the soundbar (just a little trimming), but the doors took a lot of creative "massaging" to get them to fit.
