How do you take out the original speakers without removing the panel?
The original speakers have a piece that screws on from the back to
snug them up on the panel . . .

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.
