4 X 6 in the dash?

my 87 TA has 4 x 6" speakers in the dash.. im about to buy some clarion 4 x 6's with a 1" tweeter for the dash... but i was looking at the dash... how do i go about changing them out? do i have to take the dash apart or get from it from up top somehow? Any ideas???

theres 4 screws in the defroster vents, and like 9 screws under the lip of the dashboard. take them off, pull the top out, and speaker access is there. They are 7mm socker screws if i can remeber.

if I were you man I would just wait and buy or make some kick panels. I did and I cannot believe the difference, im not using a component set either, just the kenwood 5 1/4s. I'm never going back to speakers in the dash. I mean if you wanna go that route it will still sound good, but kicks make a huge difference

Are those plate speakers? Or are they regular shaped? Because plate speakers, w/ a driver thas offset, won't fit on the left side, because the hole for the magnet fits only the size of a stock speaker. My Pioneers (just installed today) :cool fit because it has the same size magnet as the stock speaker.
