For the front door speaker, break the connection to the negative battery cable, slide off the trim panel near the front door, get rid of the screws holding the speaker in place and pull it out to remove the wire harness. Disconnect the battery negative cable, lose the two screws attaching the mounting bracket to the rear panel reinforcement, pull the bracket away to access the body connector, remove that, take out the four nuts and remove the grille from the backside of the bracket, remove those screws from the front of the bracket, then remove the speaker.
