Replacing Rear Door Speaker Grills

Remove this ad
Im sorry If this has been asked before, but I have tried to research it through this site and I have not come up with answer. I am looking to replace the right rear door speaker grill [broken] and I would like to know how to remove existing and replace with new. I have a 2005 cts any help would be most appreciated. I have quoted what the dealership in town costs and it seemed too high. $200dlls.

If you can help me with detailed info or pics that would be what I am looking for. Again if this has been posted please direct me to link

Re: Replacing Rear Door Speaker Grills

How do I remove the Door panels

All Doors: On the bottom edge of the plastic door handle cover are two small cutouts. Insert a flat tool into that cutout about 1/2 - 3/4 inch and push up slightly to release the inside catch on the cover from the projection that holds it. It is best to do both at once to minimize stress on the door handle. Push up and out to remove the door handle cover while holding the door handle in the [COLOR=blue! important][COLOR=blue! important]open [COLOR=blue! important]position[/color][/color][/color]
Next, just behind the door pull handle, there is an oval piece that you pry out, and behind it are two screws. Remove these screws. Next, starting at the bottom, pry the door panel up and it will begin to pop and then work it around until you have the panel completely pulled away from the door. Now push up and out to get it finally off the door.
The front speaker is affixed to a bracket and then to the door. In the non-[COLOR=blue! important][COLOR=blue! important]bose[/color][/color], it's a 5.25" (5 1/4") speaker, in the bose is (reportedly) a 6.75" (6 3/4") speaker. But keep in mind that it is 2 ohm (so a 4ohm speaker will produce less volume), and in both applications it's equalized (crossed) to produce below 6000hz, so you will not get very good highs from the speaker.
The rear is removed the same, however, the speaker is screwed to the door panel, not the door. It is a 4 ohm [COLOR=blue! important][COLOR=blue! important]speaker[/color][/color] and full range.

thanks Miscreant and Stephan B
