The front speakers should have been replaced with a component set (mid bass & seperate tweeter) to complete the sound. The shelf speakers are 8” (if fitted) and are low passed. If not, you could fit speakers there, but usually a better result is to add a subwoofer.

With this style of door cable latch, it is not neccessary to replace as it still has enough strength to do the job. If it is a customers vehicle, you could call them and ask if they want it replaced. If it is your own, judgement call. As you saw in the video, even with the securing latch snapped, the cable was still working as it should.
