anyone whos changed the front speakers in a 95 ex that can give me some tips? im totally lost.. i cant even figure out how to take the damn door panel off

 

you pretty much just pry the panel off, there are little things that line the panel and pop into the door, so you want to be careful not to break them if you can
if you want to take it completely off then you have to disconnect window and lock stuff but i found i could install them with a little trouble just by disconnecting the bottom fasteners and pulling the panel back just enough to work, save a lot of BS if you ask me. good luck

 

take off the cover opposite of the mirror (interior piece). theres a screw in the door handle. then you have to slide it forwards or backwards. pull it out a little bit and get the things off the rods that open the door and the locks as well.
there are a few covers over a few screws. id take a small hook tool or flat head and pry them off. there is one where you would grab to close the door.. and i think there may be a few more.
after all the scews are out you may take the door off. i work at an installation shop, and i found that the easiest way is to pry with a flat head or screwdriver on the bottom of the door, and work your way up. you will have to lift the door up a bit to get it off.
if you have too much trouble, take it to a local shop, best buy or circiut city. they charge about 35 dollars to do front or rear speakers. well worth it if you havent done them before.

 

what this guy said works really well... I used an old book to keep the panel away from the door while I changed my speakers.
