I started on a mission Saturday to replace my stock door speakers with another set of 5 1/2s. I saw a few threads indicating that it wouldn't make much/any difference, but I already had the speakers and I think one of them was blown.

Any way, From what I read on other posts I should have been able to just take the door skin off and remove the speaker from the "pod" and replace it with the new one.

However, once I got to the pod and took off the grill, I do not see anyway to get that speaker out of there. Thinking I might need to get under the stock speaker, I pretty much destroyed the stock speaker cone. In looks like it is all one bracket with no way to remove it. This is on a 98.

Am I missing something???
