Non Bose Speaker Upgrade Help

[papasink]

Hi, I am upgrading all 6 speakers in my 2019 RST with non Bose radio.  I can get the door panels off to get to those speakers but having an issue getting the dash panels off.  Has anyone done this and if so, is there a trick to remove them?  I don't want to start pulling things apart and break clips.

 

FYI, replacing the stock speakers with Kenwood KFC-X2C 2-3/4" dash speakers and JBL GTO 629 6-1/2" in the doors. 

Appreciate any help.  Thanks.

I'm about to do the same thing and have found several videos on YouTube to get to the dash speakers.

They’re a bit tricky but if there’s a YouTube video you’ll be fine. No real fancy tricks, I figured it out in a few minutes.

Can you post the link?  I keep seeing 2018 videos but nothing for 19.  Thanks.

My RST Bose has 6x9's in the door. Does the non Bose have 6.5's?

I don’t think so. But, you can get a piece that allows you to put 6.5 in the 6x9 slot. That’s not a problem. My nonbose has 6x9 front and 6.5 rear
