Speaker replacement

[IceDragon]

I saw somewhere that the front door speaker grilles can come off and allow you easy access to the speaker... IS THIS FRIKKIN TRUE!!! because I am tired of ripping off the whole panel, so if its true, tell me, and how do i remove the mudskipper? thanks in advance.

You can get them off with some effort without removing the panel, but theyll never go back on straight, its a thin material and will bend all to hell when you rip it outta there.
by mudskip, you mean the plastic trimboard on the bottom of the door jamb?, theres 4 screws that hold it down, then just pull, clean it if you cant see the screws, there in there

alrite, well than if it will screw it up, i guess i gotta keep taking off my entire door panel, see my speaker... it rattles its own cable off, i tried tape and stuff and it just screws up the sound, i don't know why or how, but it does... and yes i used electrical tape, and it still fell off, the tape didn't stick.

ACTUALLY...the plastic grill thing guarding the speaker is only on by cheap ass glue...i played my bass so hard one day that it blew/rattled right off ....im sure if u get a really thin n pliable knife u can safely pry it off...it would b prettyhard to break it, so knock urself out....then to look behind the speaker u only got 4 phillips head screws2deal with...

Next time, use a hot glue gun.

Electrical tape is only for insulating, not for attaching.

your so right defiant, but the reason i didn't want to use hot glue... stock speaker... i am planning on replacing anyway... but YOU are completely right that hotglue would more likely work best, and if that glue is only thing that holds that on, you think a high temp gun would heat up the glue enough to make it so i can pull it off?

or solder

so... this glue thats on it? you guys think a heat gun would be able to heat up the glue enough to make it like... liquidy enough to take off the panel??? or should I just rip or what? I mean whats the best way to take the speaker panel off and not the entire door panel, becuase i am replacing the speaker grille with the nice looking one you get with the speakers i am getting anyways.
