99 Bonneville SE Front Door Speaker Installation - HELP
HI Everyone,
I was just wondering if anyone knew how easy it was to replace the front door speakers in a 99 Bonneville? I am wondering if the grills come off without having to take the door panel off .. or does the door panel have to come off and basically just curious as to how simple the process might be, if anyone knows or has done it before and could give their two cents i would really appreciate it. Thanks a lot.

The door pannels do come off... There is a screw behind the Mirror control joy stick and one behind the Light in the door... The rest are push tabs that will come out with a little pulling... You will need to be careful not to bend the lock rod...
Also you will need to be careful with the plastic trip piece at the top of the door as they are somewhat brittle and can break...
The audio guys will have more info for you soon...
Good Luck

if you are going with component speakers the stock tweeters are 1.5" I believe.

so with a new set of 5.25" speakers, if i removed the door panel would the rest of the installation be pretty simple? would i need to solder anything or would the factory brackets work alright?
apologize for all of the questions, kind of new at all this but i appreciate all of your help.
