Next up it was the door speakers.

I replaced the HiFi mids and tweeters with Top HiFi mids and tweeters and also changed the grill for the tweeters in case the HiFi grillsdidn't fit but I think they would have.

Open up the door cards. Driver side only one screw, visible and easy to access. On passenger sides two screws and one hidden behind door arm grip trim.
Each door cards has around 10 plastic trim clips and two metalic clips in the centre by the arm grip that are much stronger but a good pull will dislodge them once the plastic ones are unclipped using trim remover tools.

You are bound to brake some plastic ones so I had ready bought some genuine spares,

Part numbers
HiFi Mid:65139210451
Top HiFi Mid:65139364956

HiFi Tweeter:65139248716
Top HiFi Tweeter:65139226357

Same speakers for the front and back doors.

The Top HiFi mids and tweeters are of a much better quality and in my opinion has made the sound noticeably better. The amp is powerful enough and I wasn't looking for more volume.

Finished door with new grill and tweeter.
