Greg, go to Crappy Tire and get the Sony Xplodes ??, not sure that is the right name as it's been a long time.  They are around $30 ~ $40.  They come without bezels.  Take the speakers in the Wolfsburg out, cut of the speaker cone with a dremel cut off wheel or hack saw.  Your left with the OEM bezel that will fit over the Sony speakers.  I did this years ago and it works like a charm.   The Sony's are bullet proof, no more paper, will not blow out, crank 'em up as high as your ears can take it.
