You don't need to remove the door panels. The new speakers fit into the existing cutouts though I did need to make a small notch where the existing screw holes are located so that I could move the clips outward about 1/8", increasing the diameter of the circle/centerline containing the mounting holes. The existing wires have different size connectors which match the spade connectors on the speakers. >> >> >> Patrick Spragge >> >>> On Jul 12, 2016, at 11:03 PM, Gordon Mah <gordonmahung@GMAIL.COM> wrote:
