No, he means in the side panel just above the arm rest.
This is a pic of the area. (ignore what the colors mean for now) The speaker we are talking about goes in the red colored circle area. The opening is about 8" total, the factory speakers have an odd mounting.

I have a pic of the speaker installed at home, I'll post it later. You need to remove the seat backs and the door sills first. Then get your hands behind the edge of the plastic at the door jamb and pop it free, sliding it out forward from next to the rear seat bottom.
