2002 civic: front/rear speaker removal?? help!

[Mischief(LTS)]

damnit! i need to know how to gain access to the front lower speakers on the 2002 civic LX sedan. does anyone have car audio experience or experience removing them? i also need to know how to gain access to the rear speakers in the back as well. im going to be installing neons behind the speaker grilles but i cant seem to get the damn plastic off!

on my 98, not sure if its the same, the front ones just pry off, the rear ones u get at from the trunk i think, been a while lol. im not sure if the light will go through the speaker covers real well though.

lol jon, i tried prying at random things, lets just say im not going to try that tactic again. i was hoping for more detailed instructions. im kinda messing with my new car here.. that i paid money for... not gonna mess it up!
and yes actually the grille on the 2002 civics which covers the speakers, you can see the speakers so you can surely bet that light will definately travel through the same holes :P

i had the same problem with my front grills lol, i ended up scraping part of the door panel ;(

call crutchfield and say you bought speakers from them and they didnt include installation instructions...they can tell you how to do it over the phone then
