I think I'm going to fashion some sort of a deflector to at least protect the speakers from above. I'll have to make a trip down the dairy isle with a tape measure!
I never thought about a voice coil freezing up, but I can see where it could happen. Fortunately, my car is garaged and when it is severely cold out we generally stay in. Not everyone has that situation, though. I have always noticed that when the weather starts to warm up in the Spring my speakers suddenly start sounding better!
I'm not doing a major upgrade as I don't spend all that much time in the car. I was researching info to put in a dash cam and happened upon a thread that said the door speakers are 6.5" round. I just happened to recall that I have a pair of Yamaha 2-way speakers that I pulled from a car I sold years ago. I verified the size at 6.5", so why not stick them in? I even found my paperwork showing that I paid 80 bucks for them in 1992. They've been carefully stowed away in the original packaging, so I think they should still work. The depth is OK. I got the Metra brackets and connectors recommended on the forum. It the speakers still work it will be an upgrade over the OEM's and that's all I'm looking for.
