they are riveted in as standard
as for crossovers there aren't any except for an inline capacitor on the tweeter

they always look like they been out before,i was an audio fitter a few years back, every golf is a headache to fit door speakers into, drill the top off the rivet and pop em out then u have holes for the new speakers, your better off sticking with 6 inch comps buy the wooden spacers coz ul find your window hitting the speaker magnet if u dont. the tweeters fit nicely where the original tweeters were (with a lil moddin n force  :shocked:) its time consuming but worth it mine sounds great
