I just wanted to find out first if our speaker size is 6.5. Thats what I was assuming but just wanted to make sure.

I am not sure how to take the pannel off, so that I could reach them. I took out the controller part, the part that regulates windows and locking machanism. I also took out the bult that was to the right of it, a little up. I had to snap a circular thing out and than an screw it(on the picture its still in there).

Here is a picture.


I figured that was it and tried to take the pannel off but failed. I think that I didn't force hard enough. Is there some way to take it off or am I missing something.

Any help will do.

I just did it this weekend

1. pop the little ring off in the front of the door panel
2. unscrew the screw in there
3. pop the circle off inside of the cup
4. unscrew the screw
5. pop the cup out (use a little force)
6. pop the trim around the door opener (gentlely pull it outward)
7. there is an open space on the bottom of the door that you can get a good grip on... pull the whole door panel off from the bottom
8. disconnect the cable on the back.
9. almost done.
10. screw the three scew around the speaker adaptor
11. pop that out...
Our speaker is 6 1/2 OVERSIZE... which means that if you use regular 6 1/2 speaker. it won't fit... too small...
what I did is I cut out the OEM speakers, crazy glue the new one onto the old adaptor, and it fits perfect!!
let me knwo if you have more question!

Thanks punkdork and Max2000. I did the front speakers last night with my friend. After taking about an hour to doing one door, the second one was really fast and easy. I am going to put the back ones on thursday.

thanks again for your help
