whoa whoa whoa whoa...you don't have to do all that to remove the speakers! there are clips that hold in the speaker grills! pop them out and it's 4 8mm bolts holding them in. unclip the harness and reverse order for the new speakers!

i did it with:
my coupe
various customer's sedans & coupes
6gen coupes & sedans
5th gen coupes & sedans (instead of clips, 3 small screws holding it on, but still no need to remove rear deck!)
