It says they dont fit because they dont. You have to cut the backside of the speaker cover to get a 4x6 to fit.

I put in some Sony Xplods that I had laying around...but if I were doing it again, Id spend some money and get a plate speaker like:

Got $100?

Although I think the audio guys will tell you that the dash is not a good place to have a speaker at all for sound quality

A plate speaker is not a 4x6 speaker. 4x6 speakers do not fit because of the ridge around the speaker. It hits the lip on the underside of the grille. A plate speaker does not have this ridge, and therefore fits fine.

Edit: And sound quality or not, your dash speakers are going to over power the door speakers at higher volumes. The sound comes right off the windshield at you, where as the un-directed door speakers are at your legs. I don't pride myself on SQ, so I enjoy having my 4x6s, but they definitely cannot compete with my Polk dBs in the door once it gets turned up.
