Just a little documentary of my front door speaker install. Crutchfield had a killer deal on the Eclipse three-way 6 1/2" (SE6500) for half price. They fit the front and rear doors. They also come with the adapter rings and harness adapters (for free). Think I paid a little over a hundred for all four speakers. Anyways, this is how I started.....
First, I removed the tweeter. Just need to pull towards yourself (as you face the door panel) and slightly rotate towards the exterior door handle. I have read the main holding tab is fragile, so I was extra careful. Next, I removed the screw behind the interior door latch handle and interior door handle (see pics). These have little screw covers that are a pain to remove without breaking the little tabs that hold them in (ask me how I know :icon_rolleyes
. Once you get the door handle screw out, that armrest piece can pull straight up (many tabs) revealing two more screws (remove those, too). The connectors on that control piece all have center tabs that need to be pushed down to release them. I started from the bottom of the door panel and carefully started popping it out of the door. Also, had to disconnect the door panel light connector (see pics). After I popped all the plastic hardware free, just lifted up on the door panel until it came off the door. There are two screws holding the door latch handle. Once I removed these, the panel was off - yay!
