Pro Tip: When removing the dash tweeter brackets you may choose to use a 10mm socket or a torx bit (as shown in the video). The tweeter bolts have proven to be very tight from the factory. Take your time and avoid stripping the bolts!

Pro Tip: In some cases the speaker adapter does not sit flush against the door when trying to secure the speaker to the adapter ring. This is caused by the screws hitting the inner door panel. It may be necessary to use a small drill bit to drill out the inner door panel so that the screw no longer hits.
