Door Speakers - 94 legacy sedan

OK, got new speakers for my car but what is the trick to replacing the door speakers? I thought that just unscrewing the 3 screws at the speaker grill would have been the trick but does the whole door panel have to be removed? Just didn't want to procede further until I asked the forum here first.

Thanks for any help/hints.

Yep, gotta take off the whole panel, then there's 3 more screws holding the speakers to the door.

Yep, and if you were lucky enough to get speakers that are too deep, you'll run into a problem with the magnet hitting the glass. That is if we have the same door internals as a WRX.

I was hoping I didn't have to do that, OK can anyone fill me in on the process before I go screwing something up? Any info or documentation would be most helpfull. Thanks for the reply.

there's a couple of screws somewhere. In the handle and udner that lil pocket, the rest of it just pops out.

Got some low profile Pioneer speakers which should work great once I know all the details of getting the door panel off.

3 screws next to the speaker grille connecting the door panel to the door. 2 more screws next to the handle. Be careful when you pull the panel off because of the wire for the power windows is short.

I used 1 inch spacers that i had to drill into the door metal. The factory speakers have built in spacers that you cant reuse.

I think someone here mentioned that they drilled the tack welds on the stock speakers and used the spacers with their new speakers. Sounds like a good idea, if somewhat labor intensive.

If you buy from a place like Crutchfield, they give you spacers for free.

might be different on the later models, but i can't imagine a way to do that to the spacers on my 90.

Yea, you'd hit the grille if you space them out to far. I'd just make my own spacer then fiberglass the whole damn thing.
