No, and they're probably crappy paper cones with weak magnets anyways. The
only thing effective through a back seat would be an 8" or larger
subwoofer
with a decent amplifier

If it's just a piece of trim, use an aftermarket speaker of the same size.
They almost always come with new grilles and will cover the holes you'll
need to cut through the trim panels that are there. Don't worry, any
reputable brand will have a cutout template also. Plus you'll get much
better sound than from the crappy factory stuff that was installed during
those years. If those speakers are original, then the surrounds are most
probably dry rotted out and the cone will fail the first time you put any
decent kind of power to them. Crappy fuzz sound would come out if anything
came out at all.
If you have questions, feel free to email me. I don't know you're specific
car, but I've done many many installs that included custom kickpanels
and/or
door panels, amp installs, etc.
Hope I helped a little.
