Hi,
just unscrew the speaker grill and remove speaker, then gently pull the panel by the center tunnel to release a plastic push in stud.

there should be a small hole on the top close to the edge nearest the door as there is a bracket there, you`ll need a longish posi screwdriver

As stated above, removal of the whole unit is fairly simple, just watch for the Factory Installed Mouse :)

You can fit larger speakers if you can squeeze them into the housing and mount from behind the metal frame (avoiding the cone clashing with the circular opening).

Oh right, maybe mades been modified as they do have aftermarket rear speakers in them.

when i get chance i`ll take a photo of the bracket which is on the back off the cover.

BTW i didn`t even realise that the stock speaker bracket was attach to the tub area :roll:
