Re: Front Speakers

There are about 7 screws underneath the dash pad along the front that need to be removed. Then simply lift the dash pad up and out. Carefully move the whole dash pad to outside the vehicle (I rested mine in the trunk while changing speakers)

Tip: It will help to tilt the steering wheel down before removing the dash pad.

Once the dash pad is out, you'll see the 4 screws that hold in the stock dash speakers.

Re: Front Speakers

Everyone here is forgetting the four 7mm screws at the front of the dash pad in the defroster vent area.

Re: Front Speakers

should be 4x6 unless someone made another size fit which isn't uncommon

Good point, and be very careful not to drop the screw into the defroster grille. I still have a socket stuck down there.

Need to put some speaker wire and a small magnet down there to get it out. The telescoping magnets are too bulky to fit down there.
