It's not fun to get to at all (although on my car I've had better luck with the driver's side than the passenger side). Depending on your body size, you might want to remove the driver's seat. Squeezing your chest between the seat and the steering wheel can be a little uncomfortable and add to the sense of claustrophobia while your arms are wrapped around your neck and your head is stuffed up under the dash. If you're replacing your front speakers, make sure you pay special attention to the depth of the ring that goes around the speaker's perimiter to protect the tweeter. I replaced my fronts with Infinity Kappa 32.1cf's and tightened them up just like the original Craig's had been. Then once the speakers had been in for a while, I started noticing a faint ring shape appearing around the grills in my dash. Oops! Fearing this would greatly increase my chances of a cracked dash, I pulled the speakers out, reshaped what they call the "mounting ears," put some washers on the posts in the dash to space things out a bit, and put the speakers back in again. Not fun. Hopefully you'll only have to go through the process once! Good luck! _________________ Todd Masinelli VIN 6681 (Nov 81)
