I recently replaced my rear speakers without cutting anything. After pulling off the inner door seal you need to pry off the barbs that hold the seal to the inner door. This will likely tear the vinyl a little but they go back where they tore it up so it's ok. The rear panels have extra vinyl that is wrapped around the door frame. I simply pried up this wrap with a thin screwdriver and with a little patience I had the panel removed without cutting a thing! The first one took about an hour and a half, but the second one was done and refitted in about 45 minutes. Replacing the speaker takes like 5 mins once you're in there, and that's if you keep dropping your screwdriver. Stock radio now sounds significantly less crappy. But still not great. -John #5572 --- In dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, "Gekko West Coast Base" <gekko@...> wrote: > > I have read some of the tech notes on replacing the OEM rear speakers and to > be honest, I want to avoid cutting through sealer, etc. if at all possible. > Does anyone make a replacement box or board (that doesn't take up all of > that luggage space) that has a speaker(s) replacement built in?
