Speaker Install
Using Eureka Boy's instructions I had no problem at all installing the front speakers on my F250 03 Extended Cab. However his instructions for the rear doors are a little different than what my truck looks like. Different years.
Can anyone tell me how to get the panels off the rear doors?
thanks

Yikes! Sorry about that. It just don't snap off! The bottom panel cannot come off before you remove the top panel. Maybe someone will come along that's done this. But I was WRONG!
Here's somebody that knows:

1.) Remove the two screws that hold the window squeeze hinge to the door
2.) Pop the top section off carefully
3.) as I remember a screw/bolt that holds the bottom section to the door. There may be 2 so ck carfully.
4.) Remove those bolts
5.) pop off/lift up the lower section
6.) viola!
Took me about 2 minutes total, even with figuring it out. I found a tape covered screwdriver helpful for the operation.

Thanks Orn,
I will try the posted instruction's in the AM and report back.
It is interesting to hear the difference in quality of the new speakers vs. the OEM's. I got the pioneer 3 ways that Walmart stocks for $56.00/pair. Someone recommended them a few weeks ago on the board. Can't beat the price and they are an exact replacement except for the speaker wire connectors. I had to cut them off and then figure out ford's wiring code. I think it was designed to confuse. 4 wires total between the two speakers..all different colors. What ever happend to red and black? The OEM speakers do not give any indicators on them either.
With the help of my voltmeter it was simple to figure out.
