gonna attempt this now i got a new head unit.

its probably in here somewhere but

do i need a torx bit for the screwdriver to remove the front and rear speakers?

do i really need to take all that trim off for the side speakers?

Front doors - No. 2 philips head screwdriver. Rear side spkrs are same size as doors. To replace spkrs you need to remove back seat pad and backrest, then torx bit required to remove side trims - 3 torx screws and one plastic clip then panel will pull off (spring clips). Not difficult. Just make sure you get the polarities on the spkrs right - when I did mine the factory connectors did not fit new spkrs, had to cut them off and crimp on new terminals (or you could solder them).
