i posted this in GD, with just one reply, so i will try my luck in here!

i just need to replace the front 2 in the driver and passenger side doors. I have looked around and dont knoiw if the facing just pops off the bottom of the door or what?

No you will need to remove all of the door panel. Becarefull because its in about 3 pieces that are bonded together. Try no to pull on it to hard its better to just pull gentilly around the out side to release the clips. It has screws behind the door release handle and up at the arm rest and handle. Its not hard. I have taken mine off many times. Good luck

the door just pops off, but you have to remove screws in door handle(remove center cover), under arm part(arm part pops off), and 2 bolts under plate where handle to open door at from inside.

As an aside to this, what size are those speakers?

The speakers are 6x9's.

Thanks CV. I'll be doing this to mine at some point, so thought I'd ask.

Glad I could help.. Let us know how things turn out. Remember that the factory speakers are 2 ohm. So if you plan to use the factory stereo the volume level will decrease.

Up front, yes. Replace all of them if you get a chance!!! The stock speakers are of poor quality. Are you putting components up front? If so don't put the after market tweeters in the original stock location, doesn't sound all that great.

anyone know how to get the tweeters out of the dash?? does that cover just pop off??

And anyone know what size they are?

The little grill cover pops out. The tweet is held by a mounting plate held by four plastic clips that can be easily pulled with a trim panel fork tool (I'm sure people have used other means). To mount new tweets, you can make a new mounting plate with whatever size hole you need for your new tweet, and then drill holes in the corner for the clips. People have used aluminum and also lexan to make the mounting plate.

Infinity and Image Dynamics have 2 ohm drivers.

Factory Stereo is like 10-11 watts of power....So even if you go buy 2 ohm comps they are going to suck with power from the Factory HU.

I swear my eclipse HU (13 watts per channel I believe) was much louder!
