    dont put holes in your doors.....they flex under pressure so get a set of pods or something to house those speakers and crossovers

    door trims arent too hard to remove. you gotta use a special tool, or else a flat head screwdriver, to get the window winder handle off. there is a little metal clip in it that holds it to the door.

    after that, you gotta use the screwdriver to remove the plastic cover on the interior door handle. under that there are 2 screws to remove. you also have to use the flat head to get the orange clip out of the door lock. remove it and there is a screw holding it onto the door.then after that, you basically pull it off around the edges.

    here is a slighty more detailed description for the winder -
    if you dont have the tool, get a small flat head screwdriver. pull the winder back away from the door as much as you can until you can see a small metal clip. push on the clip with the screwdriver, and it will eventaully come out. make sure you have a cloth or something on the other side, because those metal clips will shoot away if youre not careful.
