Seems like a lot of work, but its the wiring to the original head unit that will confuse me

As the post you found indicates, the speaker fitment is non-standard, you need to be creative. OEM speaker data can be found here

You will need either speaker out to line level converter or a compatible amp, beyond that, you can do whatever you want with amps and speakers. Note that the speaker grilles in the door of your car have no speakers behind them. Apparently some cars have the wiring in place for them, but others do not.
