as far as cutting?

use a dremel or air saw.... make sure you grind, sand, prime, and paint the metal afterwards.

I woudl actually recommend againt the dremel idea, personally. I used a 4 inch hole saw to make a space for the magnet to recess a little bit, and the hole saw made a perfect cut---it looks factory.

You should definitely cut the metal and mount the speaker to the door frame instead... Do a Google search for BMW HK speaker replacement or similar - I found an excellent piece on the Coupe that way. The guy did a step by step, pics and everything. I think the change in mount will improve things the most, with any replacement.
