Take out the speaker from the door SL, R230
Is the door speaker put in to the door speaker assembly from the "outside" or is the speaker pushed in to the door speaker assembly from the behind?
I wonder if it is possible to take off/out the large speaker in the doors like shown on picture below without taking off the door panel?
Meaning that you after taking off the screws that secures the speaker and pull the speaker towards you? Can you take off the largest speaker without removing the door panel?
Or do you have to take off the door panel perhaps because the speaker is put in from the "behind"? Or do you have to take off the door panel because the speaker needs to be pulled out from "behind" as shown on this picture?
Does the speaker come off from the outside as shown on the picture above here?
Or does the speaker come off from the inside as shown on the picture above here?
You are certainly welcome to try, but the foam ring sits against the back of the wooden panel and the plastic tabs with screws extend beyond that. Honestly, I don't see the big hesitation with removing the door panel. It takes about two minutes. You might break a few of those plastic clips, but they are cheap so buy some spares and just consider them "disposable".
The speaker housing separates into 2 halves.the "front" half, which is the part with the foam ring, has to separate from the back half in order to access the 2 screws furthest to the left securing the speaker to the "back" side of the speaker housing. There simply is no way to access those 2 screws, nor the wire connector, without removing the door panel.
