how to fix your speakers for next to nothing :] based on a :honda:dc4 :thumbsup:
tools needed:
screwdriver
stickytape

How To:
front speakers:

1. get your screwdriver and take out 3 screws. one is under the lil square face of the door handle.
2. the second screw is placed where there is a hole for all your little goodies on the arm rest.
3. the third screw is placed in the area which is covered when you close the door, dont break this.
4. once all the screws are taken out start front the bottom and pull the trim, it should come out with a bit of strength (that's what she said lol).
5. once the trim is off unplug any cables connected to the trim and put the trim aside.
6. now you want to take the screws which are holding the speaker to the door out
7. once you have taken the speaker out get your sticky tape and place it over any gaps/holes in the speaker. if you don't trust it go wild and go for a double layer of tape :eek: there is a sample picture of my handy work below :D
8. work backwards from 1 to 6. becareful not to break the screw in step 3, you want to twist the screw all the way back so the flexible bit can get in first and you can push the screw to lock it in place. also if you dont get the door trim in step 4 on properly the first time becareful not to break the triangle thing next to the window when pulling it back out because i broke both these things and i was like.

rear speakers (based on :honda: dc4 integra):

1. in the back seat there should be a plastic vent where the speaker is hiding, all you have to do is get a screwdriver behind it and gently push it out.
2. now the speaker is exposed take the screws out and either take the speaker out, if you cant do that just simply twist the speaker so you can get all that good tape around it.
3. place the screws back in to lock it place, once that is done just place the vent back on.
