the only reason i removed mine was they were not put on right by the previous owner so i took them off to replace some missing clips and they were a mo-fo to put back on,i recomend not messing with them over a couple speakers your not going to here very well back there anyway,just go with the front door speakers and put some good tweeters in there spot on the door and it will sound sweet,i have 6 1/2 3 way sony expoad's in the doors and kickers tweeters in the tweeter spot and 2 12" subs in a bandpass box in the back and it is life shaking sound.
