To get to the speaker, the door sill piece has to come out.

Pretty easy, actually, and the carpet is glued to the sill. There is a row consisting of a couple or so philips head screws along the outside side of the sill - about an inch or two along and above the lower edge of the sill. Recalling from memory (always dangerous) one end is retained under the the B pillar molding - about the height of the door latch, and the other end is anchored near the upper door hinge. There is also a screw or two on top of the sill, and some real sticky chit that you'll have to overcome - just be careful not to break the plastic sill piece itself (rather thin, and a bit brittle, no doubt).

If you need to get into the wiring in the footwell, the hush panel is at your knees. There are two screws on the left side (accessible only with the door open), three screws along the bottom forward most edge, two screw at either end, just below the fold where it tucks back toward the footwell.

The metal support piece is anchored by two bolts on the left side, and two more on the far right edge of the panel.

Hope this helps.
