Default Front Door Speaker Removal...

Is it possible to replace the 6 1/2" woofers in the front of an 02 Accord without removing the whole door panel? Can i cut the speaker covers off and access all the bolts to remove the speaker?

It would be a lot more time and effort to cut the door panel, then it will look like crap....

It is very simple to take the door panel off, I'm not familiar with your gen but generally there are clips along the sides and bottom that to be released. Get a metal spatula, put a piece of duct tape on the spatula so you won't scratch the paint. Start from the bottom and make your way up the sides releasing the clips. Once the clips are released just lift the panel up and off the door. And carefully disconnect the cable from the door handle. I would google a more detailed instructions before having a go at it.

Thanks guys ! I'm all done, and taking the door panel off wasn't that bad after all. Just a piece of advice, be careful not to break the clips for the door handle. They are flimsy....pull the metal rod away from the plastic clip and you will be fine.

Yeah I broke a clip the first time I had to pull my door panels. I was doing it alone so I had to hold the panel with one hand, trying to unclip it with the other. If your experienced at it I'm sure you can do it alone but an extra pair of hands makes all the difference in the world. Glad to hear you were more successful than my first time.
