Re: Upgrading Rear Speakers

["Troy & Susan Rossmann" <trossmann@sprint.ca>]

I've come across the same problem.  This is very easy to do if you use heat
to melt the glue on the old grill assembly.  A heat gun would be perfect,
but all I had at my disposal was a 500W work light.  Be careful to heat just
enough that the glue releases and not too much to burn anything.  If you do
it this way, you will not damage the grill and it will look stock.

Cheers
Troy
