Car Forum / Honda Cars / December 2005Front speakers in '05 Accord DX/VP
I just got over my fear today about removing the door. Once I saw how easy it was, I was only thinking about changing the speakers. I did the front tweeters, but now I need to do the woofers. When I removed the door, I noticed that the speaker was not screwed in as I would expect. Instead, it looked as if it were glued on 'pinned' somehow. How do I remove these? It is as if a simple job might get more complex. >I just got over my fear today about removing the door. Once I saw how easy >it was, I was only thinking about changing the speakers.

One large one at the top center and two small ones at the bottom left and right. With a flat blade screwdriver or similar instrument, depress the top clip and pull the enclosure out from the top. Don't pull the whole thing out all at once or may damage the bottom clips. Instead, pull the top porton only outward untill the clip is free of the panel. Then lift the entire enclosure straight upward to release the bottom clips. Bob >>I just got over my fear today about removing the door.

Now, is there a problem putting new speakers in? Can screw them in or must I drill holes? Do I have to use that plastic apparatus to install the new speakers? >>>I just got over my fear today about removing the door.

Do I have to use > that plastic apparatus to install the new speakers? You should be able to tell at this point if the speaker can be removed from the enclosure. It would seem unusual if it couldn't, but it's possible Honda made the whole thing to be replaced as a unit. The instruction I gave above came out of the service manual, and it stops there.

I felt that it was looser though. I only saw two clips by the way. Both on the side. Why does replacing the speaker have to be a pain in the a.s? I have a slight rattle in my drivers door and was wondering how hard it was to remove the door skin to get at the innards. I have a warranty but I know my local dealer will do more damage than good. :( >I just got over my fear today about removing the door.

Star at the bottom and pop up the first plastyic piece them slip your hand in and pop the others off until it is off. Oh yeah, firs remove the screws in the door handle areas. >>I just got over my fear today about removing the door. Once I saw how >>easy it was, I was only thinking about changing the speakers.
