Changing Front and Rear Speakers

Wondering how hard it is to remove the door panels to gain access to the front and rear speakers. Also is there a DIY on removing the panel without breaking something? What tools will I need? Looking to put some better sounding speakers. Gonna run with the stock setup for a while before I decide to go and dismantle the stock head unit but I am planning on possibly getting a 4 chan amp to run the front and rears. Also planning on getting a mono amp to run my Infinity Beta 10X from my old car. Currently it's sitting in my garage collecting junk on top of it >.>. I've already looked at the DIYs for running a power line from the front to the rear.

My setup will be a thick gauge power line which will go into a 1.0 farad capacitor. From there it will go either into a monster cable power block, if i decide to run 2 amps, or straight into the mono amp that will run my Infinity Sub. This was my setup before on my other car before i got rear-ended and totaled the car.

Removing the door panel is pretty easy.

For the front door panels:
1. remove the screw on the door handle
2. remove the plastic on the side of the arm rest. push in the three tabs towards the front of the panel/car and pull it out from the front since the rear tab is solid and you dont want to break that
3. remove the three screws that will be visible once you remove the plastic piece from step 2
4. start popping the panel off from the bottom. the closer to the plastic screws the better so you dont break anything.
5. push the door handle towards the front of the car to get it unhooked from the door
6. unclip the harness for your window/power door lock
7. lift the door panel up and slide the door handle out

The rear is the same but there is a little plastic trim piece at the top that you just pop off.

The wider the screw driver the better. if it is about 1 inch long you have a better chance of not scratching things/breaking things.

Good luck!
