Question OEM ML speakers... worth putting in?

Hey guys,
I have a parts car GS450h kicking around, I sold off a bunch of odds & ends, but now I see the door speakers are good...

Are these worth putting into another car? My GF got a little Toyota Yaris, and I figured I can toss them in - it'll cost me next to nothing to get it done, but I'm not sure its worth it.
These cars had a complete sound system, which was amplified, I'm weary that these speakers (not amplified) won't work right... (aftermarket deck, that would be the "amp"...)

Thoughts? Like I said, my only investment is a couple hours...

I think you will get some improvement from the standard OEM paper speakers, although i wouldn't expect a complete turn-a-round. The head unit and/or amplifier makes or breaks what makes a ML stereo what it is. If it is worth it or not is up to you, i doubt it will be a straight forward swap - probably will need to retap screw holes to fit the mounting brackets, splice in to the speaker wire plugs and direct wire them, ect. Not a big deal, but not something i would take on for minimal gains
