How do you remove the forward door-mounted factory original speakers from a 1994 Geo Prizm in order to install new ones?

I know that I posed this question, but I figured out the answer- I may as well write it down for everyone else out there.
Step one: Attack the casings on the forward speakers with a flathead screwdriver. The top portions just have little plastic "wings" that go in under the door covering, and will pop out. The bottom is actually bolted to the door covering; you may have to rip some vinyl to take it off.
Next go for the trim right beneath the window. Pull it up and toward the interior of the car. A series of small metal pins, like brad pins, are keeping it on the frame. Getting it off is relatively simple.
That done, pull the door covering off. I'm serious: Pull it off. A series of little yellow pins hold the covering to the door frame all along the edge. Just pop 'em out. With windows it gets trickier- I have non-power windows, so I'll just talk about those. Power windows require some more work.
Take a clean cloth and work it along the handle of the window. Eventually the handle will pop free. Now take a Phillips head screwdriver to the door handle and remove the screw. The door cover will now hang on the door handle- I recommend you leave it that way. Getting the handles back on again is a pain, and if you disconnect them from their mechanical apparatus it's more of a pain.
All you needed in the first place was room to operate. Using a ratchet, remove the three bolts holding the speaker case to the car door. When you've gotten them off only a set of wires will leave the speakers attached. Just disconnect them where they meet (There's a small, white plastic connector piece where the blue and green wires turn into black and red wires) and go ahead and install the new speakers.
So far as that goes, I recommend clipping the speaker wires of the old speakers close to the speaker itself. Then hook up the new ones on the old wire. This lets you use that quick release system that the car originally had in case you messed up somewhere.

Where can you find a stereo wiring diagram for an '89 Toyota pick up?
Chilton or Haynes Auto repair manual, available at your local library. Its pretty straight forward, like most factory installs. If your adding an after market unit, you don't want to use factory speaker wiring. It's the minumin required, to power those cheap, paper speakers, installed at the factory. Same holds true, for the +12 volt pwr, going to the factory radio.
How do replace back speakers on a 98 Nissan maxima?
I had a very hard time with my back speakers. I had to remove the back seats so I could remove the parcel shelf and speakers. Then I did the same thing in reverse with my new speakers lol. I am NOT looking forward to doing the front speakers/tweeters. Haha Khloe :)

How do I setup a large home theater?
You need a series of wires and a television capable of surround sound. You can purchase a box that has outputs for forward/rear/side speakers that you connect wires to the speakers for. Sony is your best option--inexpensive and durable. I have the 6 speaker subwoofer surround.
How do you remove rear speakers in a 2002 voltswagon bug?
You must remove the rear interior panel by lifting on the rear, and pushing the panel forward. Once done, the speaker is behind the panel, bolted to the sheetmetal frame with 4 bolts. You will need a Speaker Adapter to mount an aftermarket 6.5" speaker. Or you may use a factory replacement speaker. The adapter that I found was a Scosche SAVW6.
