I did the same with my 95 ssei, i replaced the speakers and stripped out the plastic clips, you can get the clips at dealership for $12 for 10 clips it beter than hering the door rattling and stuff

ugh door panel clips. Hate 'em. Pulled them all, and put velco in it'* place. Much easier. Velco is kinda expensive though.. so don't be surprised when it'* like $10/yd. I really have no clue how much I paid for it, but I remember getting it on sale.

It works out great, because the velco isn't the support. It'* the [for me, three] screws which bolt the panel to the door frame. Hell, I went several weeks without any clips, and just the screws. Nothing wrong with that either, but you can usually tell the door is clipless when you open it, because there is a gap between the door and the frame on the bottom.
