I didn't see this write up before doing mine so my dyi is a bit different. I had some 4 inch speakers laying around from a different project, they were 2 way speakers, a woofer only 4 inch would have been preferable.\

Of course you have to remove the carpet kit from the rear first, if you have the cd changer that needs to come out as well. On the right side there is the latch cable for the fuel fill door so you just need to move the carpet out of the way.\
\
Remove the 4 screws that hold the speaker assembly.\
\
Clip the wires off to the woofer or de solder, if you have the 10 speaker version like mine, it's likely your tweeters are fine\
\
Now look at the picture in the first post. Instead of trying to pry apart the glue holding the speaker to the speaker tube, I cut off the radials of the speaker itself so that they are flush to the diameter of the speaker. Note: you will mount the new speaker directly to the outer ring remnants of the old speaker.\
\
Now trim where you cut the radials so you have a smooth circle.\
\
Mount the new speakers, if done properly it should snap in flush.\
\
Bend the tabs for the screws upward so parallel with speaker tube, put some screws in and re solder the wires to new speakers.\
\
This method has the advantage of still using the OEM speaker tube as intended.
