How to remove door panels for speaker install?
I just bought a Evo 8. I was searching all the forums to find a "how to" on installing door speaks. If there is a picture diagram that could help, I would appreciate it.

pop off cover behind inside door opening handle- remove screw.
remove screw found at the bottom of the recessed door handle (the "handle" that closes the door)
then you just put off the door panel.

i believe thats it.

What kind of speakers are you going to put in there? You could take this opportunity once your doors are apart to replace the wiring with thicker gauge.

Im using 6-1/2 alpine sps-600. I already order some mounting adapters so they seat nicely and might as well upgrade the wiring too. Thanks

i just installed the same speakers about a week ago. sounds great! there are 4 screws on the door, then u just pop it off and pull up the panel parallel with the window... its really straight forward.
