I'm pretty good with audio crap...but I looked all around and can't figure out how to get the speaker grills off so I can replace my stock 6.5's with some infinity kappa speakers! It's driving me nuts..I can't figure it out!

The front is easy, rear is a bitch.

u can use this as a guide to take off the front.

yeah...i looked up the specs of the speakers. the fronts are 5 1/4's. I have 6 1/2's that I want up front. I got the panel off no problem, but the one electric window clip was a bitch to get off. I actually took my window switch off to do it. I am going to have to retrofit something to make these 6 1/2's fit in where the door speakers are.

You'll probably want to get a set of baffles for the front speaker. You can make them or get a set through elemental designs.

and another thing. I put the door panel back on and connected the electrical for the window switch. But all day I couldn't get the window to roll down using my switch on the driver's side. It would roll down from the passenger side, but not the driver side. And today it works! I have no idea what the hell happened for it to do that. There's only 2 connections and it's IMPOSSIBLE to screw up.

Lol. You put a drill bit in the drill (5/16 or 4mm) and drill through the center of the rivet.

Use metal screws afterwards.
