Front Door Panel and HU removal
Ok, Ive searched the audio section but have yet to hear anything on our Scab. I want to remove the headunit. What is the easiest way and where do i start? How are the front door panels removed for speaker removal? I havnt looked yet but maybe just the grille's need to be popped off or does the door panel need to be removed from the rear doors? More details the better!
For those of you that are curious Im installing:
*4 6x8 4 way Pioneers
*5 channel MTX amp
*JL Audio 10W3v2 D2
*Q-Logic custom fit box
*Eclipse 5303R
Thanks!

on the front door, the speaker grille just pops off, but not the back. i thought because the front popped off so would the back, wrong, i broke the damn thing. you have to take off the whole "skin" on the rear door.
i did this a while ago, but i will try and remember....
if you look at the window on your rear doors there is plastic moulding on either side of the window. start with the one closest to the hinge pop this off. it is held in with clips. i think there is a bolt or two under there holding the lower portion of the door skin. the handle that you use to open the door has to come off. i think the plastic on the other side of the window is attached to the lower plastic (all one piece) but i can't remember.
all the way at the bottom of the door (get on your knees) there are two more bolts. i think i missed one or two but can't remember where (maybe behind the handel on the inside of the door (armrest).
you should be able to figure out from this point. once you have all the bolts removed lift the whole panel straight up and it should come right out.

LOL I thought the same thing on the back door. I thought it poped off just like the front! I broke the damn thing also!! Nothing super glue can't fix! haha
