At first the only reason I had to access the rear speakers is so that I can hook up my amp to the stock sound system. I'm happy with the stock setup but I have two 8" subs from my Jeep. I know some have posted that they thought it was bad, but to them I would say that it is a lot better than my stock Jeep Wrangler's.

Anyways in the future, if I can find a place to put a second amp, I may want to swap out the stock speakers for 6.5" components up front and something else in the rear.

So I guess my first question is: Are the pannels hard enough to remove that if I pull them off I should go ahead and replace the speakers when I do?

Second: What is the largest speaker size I can go front and rear without modifications? Stock is 5 1/4" front and 4" rear, is this right.

Also those with modified systems where do you find room for the amps? I don't want to get too carried away with filling up the cargo space.
