Yes you can put larger speakers in the front doors. The place that I bought my speakers from were able to install 6" two way JL's where the 4x6's used to lay.

I honestly don't remember if they put 6" or 6" 1/2 speakers in my door, it was a almost 3 years ago this summer. I beleive they used some sort of adapter like Cliff8928 said.

I don't think the power window makes a difference. When I had my panel off, it didn't seems that the window bracket was that close to the speaker.
I could be wrong thought, It's been a while since I did that

there could be some custom work involved, you would probably have to cut some metal in the doors, fab your own plates, trim the door panels...
