Hi
I have read a number of posts on this but am looking for some recent
info.  And, before I try to take off panels and covers (and wrecking
them!)  I thought I would post first.
First, can JUST the speaker covers be taken off the door panel
speakers to change them or do you have to take off the whole door
panel.
Second, can someone recommend some recently bought door speakers and
dashboard speakers that would fit with no mods?  I have always liked
Infinity speakers and I see they make a 6.5 inch speaker for the
door.  Any recommendations would be helpful!  Thx

NO, DO NOT pry on the plastic grills.
They are held to the door panel by plastic pins that are part of
the grill and 'melted' into place. They break easily and will need
to be drilled and replaced with hardware to make a decent repair.

Invest in one of the fork type pry tools and carefully pry the
pushpins
from the metal door by grabbing around both sides of the pins.
This should avoid any damage to the fibreboard door panel.
The pins can be reused, even though they are easy to replace if
needed.

Sorry, I'm not up on what currently out there.
Infinity would not be a bad choice.
Pay attention to impedance, though.

Try Phoenix Gold RDS 6.5 CS either components or coaxials.Great for the
money and handle power well.
