im guessing i have to take the dash off because the stearing column and bonnet release stops me from getting the speaker out from underneath... i can do the passenger side - just. thats by taking the glove box out and going in from the side. has anyone else had this problem? i think my standard speakers are up for retirement

If you take off the bonnet relase mech, you can get your hand up inside, it is very much a pain in the rear (and wrist) to do but it is possible.
Musch harder is mounting new ones. The stock units are 6x4's. I replaced mine with a set of JBL 6x4's. To mount them I had to cut and modify the original brackets which come out attached to the speakers, and then push them back into place while a mate replaced the screws.
My Justy has since put a conrod out the front of the engine. So I may still have the speakers complete with mod'd brackets.
PM if ur interested and in the uk.

i had 4" speakers in my 89 and it didn't take much to remove them i was able to shift them back about an inch ans slide them side ways (which destroyed the alredy blown speakers) as for replacements i ran a set of kenwood 6.5" under the front seats

I bought some 4" speakers instead of the ugly defaults, and modded it in place. It was a real hell to get the things out and in place, BUT it was possible

Yes...Pain in the junk. If you have tiny handed or whippersnapper family/friends... have them reach up in there at least to undo/retrieve the driver side. Passenger side isn't too bad, just 'drop the glove box door for decent access (undo the stop). Take one of the stock speakers with you to the electronics shop to get as close a fit as possible. It will save you time fitting it back in place and bending the mount brackets or drilling new holes. As my little 4's were fairly blown, the improvement in sound was day and night.
Good Luck and Skill,

I will have a detailed DIY to add to this thread in the next coming days. I just finished installing my new 4x6 Kicker DS460's. They fit without a problem, sound amazing for the price ($36 shipped off Ebay) and will probably outlast the Justy itself Pics and DIY to come... -Jamie

Wow, just changed mine, and they were far easier then most cars this vintage. Drivers side i did not (and could not get it loose) remove the hood latch. I removed some little black box that was in my way and the speaker just about fell out. Passenger side was harder since under/behind the glove box is where i put all the boxes for the alarm/pwr/doors etc.
