Actually you don't have to take the panels off. I was able to get my 6 1/2 two ways in there without having to go through the drama. Just take your time and get the right angle and they go in.

damn, I'm glad this thread was created. Now for the front doors. I have Boston Rallys to go in there, but the magnet on the back is too big. The dinky *** stock speakers (that was blown in like 2 weeks) have small magnets and are easy to take out, but do you have to cut the metal support out to make bigger magnet speakers fit?

what you can do is take a dremel and cut the backing of the basket out, will give you more room to fit tihe speaker in, just make sure you keep the part where the speaker is drilled in there.

Yep, the rear panels do not have to come off. The installation was a pain though and the biggest speakers that can fit are 6 1/2 I believe. Basically, once you take out the grill, you'll want to take out the stock speakers and then cut out a big portion of the foam enclosure around the speaker. I have no idea why it's there, but once taken out, you have plenty of room to put the speakers in. Good luck!

You can't if you plan on using the stock plastic speaker mounts....I had to dremel the stock mounts a little bigger so I could fit some oversized 6.5" speakers.

Removing the rear panels is not as hard as everybody thinks...start by removing the rear seats, then remove the rear panel in the hatch area, and then starting from the rear hatch, remove all the clips and bolt and big side rear panels should just *pop* off. If you do install the rear speakers yourself, please solder the connections so you don't have to do it again EVER.

I installed a set of RF components in the rear with an external crossover...I mounted the tweeters on the foam that is beside the plastic speaker housing.

Oh well, just to check though, are the front speakers 5 1/2 or 6 1/2?
