Door panels

[mytruckisslow]

I was thinking about upgrading my speakers and I was wondering how hard it is to remove the door panels. It looks to me like there are only a few screws holding the panel on. And I was wondering what people would recommend as far a good speakers.
I do plan on dynamating the doors too.

The door panels are not that hard to get off, just dont break anything buy trying to force anything off. I hope I remember this correctly:

Fronts Doors:
1. Remove surround around door handle and undo bolt behind door handle.
2. Remove cussion on arm rest undo bolt under it.
3. Remove bolt in door arm rest handle and then remove switch panel on door and undo clips to power windows and lock.
4. Remove cover over clip at a-piller undo clip.
5. Remove door panel held on by clips around the sides.

Rear Doors:
1. Remove surround around door handle and remove screw behind door handle.
2. Remove arm rest its just two bolts.
3. Remove door panel held on by clips around the sides.
4. Remember that the all electrical connections will have to be undone.

Remember that you will have to solder the connections for the new speakers since there are no adaptors to just plug the new speakers in.

Thanks for the help. What door speakers do you have and how do you like the Bazooka sub?

I have Alpine Type-S Series Speakers. 6.5" the front and 4" in the rear. The Bazooka tube has plenty of bass for me, but I am not interested in shaking everything I pass as I drive. Plus with the dynamat if make a huge diffence in the sound system of the truck. Also, once you see the stock speakers you will see why anything you buy is better than the stock speakers.
