Replacing front speakers.. leave factory speaker grill off??
Hello!
Quick question, want to upgrade my front speakers to something like this..
I want to show off the speaker's looks (the right one). Can I leave the
factory speaker grill off or will it leave an unsightly gap? Any potential
problems? Front speakers are 6-3/4", will installing 6.5" cause any problems?
Thanks for the quick advice... replaced my bose with a kenwood DNX7100

1. remove the square plastic cover located by the door handle lever and remove the screw underneath.

3. pull on the perimeter of the door panel to pop the retainers.
4. once the panel loose, pull up on it to free it from the door frame.
5. disconnect the wiring harness to the windows
6. disconnect the cables attached to the door handle lever.
here's a pic of a Kappa speaker with a 1" spacer

OP, you state that you replaced the Bose with the DDX7100, but are you still using the Bose amp with it? If so, you need 2 ohm speakers.
I don't recall if the stock grille separates from the door panel. You can pull the panel off and look. Unless you're going for a custom interior or a show car, you might want to leave the stock grille on.
