Possibly..... If it's a hack-job. As listed above, there are alternatives for grilles and coverings so that it CAN be tastefully done as well.

Poor execution usually yields poor results. The most common method (cut hole, drill outer perimeter for 4qty sheet-metal screws, install speakers, install standard black speaker grilles, put tools away because your done) would fall under cheap & obvious description IMHO. But, even that method of installation works just fine on a non-stock truck. A little extra effort can help w/that as well (symmetrical installation L&R, nice visual placement, better quality speaker grilles w/hidden fasteners, matching/contrasting paint, nostalgic or alternative coverings, etc).

It really comes down to the end user of the vehicle & what works for them. Our/my opinion doesn't matter otherwise other than ideas & input to help w/their decisions.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
