Default Moving front speakers to the ceiling?

Alright, so i want to move my speakers from the front doors and put them on the ceiling above the rear seats. My friend has this, but i haven't seen him to ask him. I was just wonder what kinda wiring i would have to do, how much wiring, how to make the box for the speakers, etc.

Pic of idea attached

Also if you have a Tractor Supply Store near you, they sell these boxes that hold speakers to your ceiling.
