I've been doing a lot of reading on the forums and have not been able to decipher a clear answer. I'm looking to upgrade all the door speakers an have some questions below.
1) what size is each door speaker?
2) I've read that they sell adapters for aftermarket door speakers to put diff sizes. Do I need this?
3)what door speakers fit using the stock configuration?
4)Can I use stock housing for the upgraded tweeters or do I need to buy an adaptor?
I forgot to mention its a 2012. Does it change for that year? And what spacers are recommended? I found one by Audio Integrations, I believe. Any recommendations?

I wouldn't bother with the rear speakers until you've upgraded your headunit, front speakers, amp, sub, and proper sound deadening installed. They are just fill anyway, and you'll get more out of the other stuff mentioned.
I have boston pros, I was able to re-use the spacers that the OEM speakers came in and put the tweeters in the OEM location with a little modification. I dynamatted the whole door, it's a little overkill but it sounds fantastic
The tweeters I got did not fit in the stock sail.You may have to do some modification to them to get them to fit there.Or like suggested earlier put them in the A-pillars or kick panels.
I have Monster RX-6s for coaxial speakers.Also dynamated all 4 doors & hatch area.
Yes, but they pull the stage away from the front of the car, where you spend 99% of your time. Until you've done the other stuff listed (including deadening like the link I provided), your money is better spent elsewhere.
Speaker brand is a personal thing, similar to car exhausts. Your best bet is to hit up a few car audio stores in your area with a broad collection of music you'd listen to, and listen to what they have on display. Pick the speakers you like best.
I really wanted a set when I bought my speakers, but I was on a budget, and just couldn't swing them at the time. When I get a raise, I will likely be swapping out my Alpine Type-Xs for them or a set of Image Dynamics.

If you're going to spend the coin on quality parts, install them properly.
