Replacing front Lanos speakers
Hello,
Is there an easy way that I can replace the front door speakers in my 1999 Lanos and replace them with better ones, without ripping the door off?
There's plastic grills on the doors by the speakers, but I don't know how to get them off.
Could anyone help/advise me please?
Thankyou

Wow that was a fast reply!
Whatever's easier really - I don't want to mess up the door plastic, so whatever can fit in there snugly.

well, when it comes to putting new speakers in the door (we're going to go with replacement instead of bigger) it's really not too hard.
you do have to take the door panel off, but it's really not that hard...
Door Panel Removal
1. Gently pull the black plastic triangle piece from the mirror area. It is held in with little pressure pins, it just pops off. On the driver's side (or where ever your manual mirror is) the little stick will just slide right through the hole, so don't be bashful. Then remove the trim ring from the handle. It is popped in and held in a similar fashion.
2. remove the three screws from the bottom of the door panel. Then remove the screw from the little dish on the arm rest (down inside)
Now the only thing holding your door are pressure pins... similar to those holding that black mirror trim piece on.
3. Start around the bottom, gently pulling the panel away from the door. the pins will one by one pop out until the door panel is free.
there you can get to the speaker and to do all your work. good luck!

That doesn't seem too hard - I imagine it's just as easy to replace?
What size speaker can I get away with, if I am just replacing the current speakers?

OEM speaker size in the front doors is 4 inch. It is possible to do 5.25 inch in the front but they cant go in too deep. I have some 5.25 speakers that the magnet just went too deep to fit in.
