I just purchased 4 Polk DX6 speakers from kent_99TL for $100, which include the Southbound Mod - thanks James!

I attempted to remove the driver rear door first, thinking this is the place least likely to have a passenger, so if I screw up, it'll be less noticable.

I followed the picture directions in the DIY section for removing door trim - WOW - removing the rear door trim is very difficult - I couldn't find a clip to remove for the power window wires - thus I couldn't remove the door trim - it was hanging by the wires. Made it very difficult to remove the bose speaker and unclip it from the housing.

Next I realized that trimming the housing will be a chore - time to get a dremel methinks - and soldering two wires to the Polk DX6, with the door trim in the way (power window wires) is gonna be fun. I think it will take me 2-3 hours for each of the back door speaker replacements....

Can anyone out there encourage me to continue with this? I'm starting to think the stock Bose speakers aren't sounding too bad at this point...

Are the front doors easier? Should I just replace the front two? Is there anyone in the Dallas area who would be able to do all this work for a reasonable price? Maybe I've just bitten off more than I can chew...

Cheers!

Bring your car to Austin, TX. I'm down here for school. I can take your back door off in 5 seconds and give me another 5 secs, I'll unhook that wires back there for you...It's a piece of cake!!

As for the plastic basket for your speaker, a good, sharp knife will do....give me 3 mins (gotta go slow on this one so I don't cut myself). I can drink beers with you for the other 2.5 hrs...
