10 mm bolts?? did you buy your car used?? if so the last owner must have changed that.
I have a coupe, and its a canadian si, which is the same as the U.S. ex. I've taken my door panels off many times. There are no bolts in the door. Just screws in the door. The process should be the same.
Re: ~~~DIY Front Door Speaker Install Coupe and Sedan~~~
Yep, used vehicle. Passenger side door had screws. I'm thinking the insurance company pulled a fast one and got the damage masked because the carfax came up clean when I ran it

Don't be scared. Its so easy to take the door panels apart. The first time you do it, it'll take you longer. I've done it so many times, I can take off my door panel it a few minutes.
Re: ~~~DIY Front Door Speaker Install Coupe and Sedan~~~
that doesn't seem too bad main thing is all the wiring with electrical that gets me nervous about doing it. Not like the old da integras where the speaker part pops right off
Re: ~~~DIY Front Door Speaker Install Coupe and Sedan~~~
I find this post EXTREMELY helpful thanks for putting in the time to show us how it's done. I will be installing Alpine's this week and will try to document. Great job and thanks again!
Re: ~~~DIY Front Door Speaker Install Coupe and Sedan~~~
great diy, but i wonder how the mdf will hold up in humid and wet climates....and that wiring job is not gonna last very long either. just speaking from experience and why i had to later open back up and redo everything.

Re: ~~~DIY Front Door Speaker Install Coupe and Sedan~~~
With both sets of speakers Ive had, it came with a plastic .75" spacer that you just had to drill into the door. Polks and Alpines alike. The Alpine harness/bracket piece snapped right in where the stock speaker came out.

MDF and wiring are holding up just fine after 1.5 years. just had the door panels off a couple weeks ago. i had wires like that on a nissan 200sx for over 3 years without a problem.
