Replacing Front speakers and Tweeter

Hi Folks,
I will be replacing my front two speakers and tweeters and adding an amplifier to start, then maybe finish the back two and add a sub later if I need it. Has anyone upgraded their system yet? Is it straight forward? How do you get to the tweeters? Thanks dudes!

If you hunt thru the posts you can find some good pics of the stripped interior.

I am planning to replace the speakers and add an amp and sub so have been looking for space to do so. I don't have the tweeters on my VTI so will go with coax speakers over splits to get the better grade for the same $. I am just about settled on attaching the amp to the rear seat stands so it is out of the way.

I peeled away the left trunk skin for a look the other day, looks like there are some good mounting points to secure a sub and a factory earth if you wanted to put an amp there. I am going to probably spray some sound deadener up onto the quarter and then make a fibre glass sub enclosure to squeeze a 10 inch shallow mount in there without disrupting the access to the spare.

Not sure about using the top of the shock absorber as a mounting point but there is a good inch of thread there.
