    Like anything else patience is a virtue :) Do it once and you learn a good bit so that the other side is a breeze.

    Dude....the door panel design for SUBARU rocks. I can have a full set of speakers installed (all 4 doors) in under 1 hour. ;)

    I have to agree with you.

    jyang - Next time, ask for some help. I am sure you could have gotten someone to help, and it would not have taken 6 hours. I could have swapped all four door speakers in about 1 1/2 to2 hours, tops.

    2 screws and a bunch of plastic pops and the door card is off
    knowing where the plastic pops are is the key
    helps if you wind the window down an inch or so from full

    well the problem was getting my 2" deep speakers to fit without windows touching it and placing spacers so that the door panel would actually close ..

    I hope there won't be nexttime ;p
