Actually there is nothing to it. There are 2 screws around the middle of the door (1 is under the wooden part), 1 is closer to a dashboard inside the ventelation hole, another one is on the other side of the door (it holds a little plastic piece in place), last set of the screws is at the very bottom of the door (4 of them).

I have just finished with soundproofing my doors and changing the speaker size to 6.5. I'll have all the pics in a couple of days if you want.

how hard is it to convert the speaker to a 6 1/2?

retrodrive

Actually it is pretty hard as long as you do not know ehat you are doing. There is a plastic enclosyre for a 4" speaker inside the door panel. The best way is to cut the top of that enclosure off, cut out the top out of MDF board and make a desired size hole there. Use a lil dynomat extreeme (I used a better alternative) and screws to fit the MDF on top of the plastic.

thats it
