[V8] Rear Speakers KB?

Pulled my rear speakers today.  It's almost too easy for a KB entry, but 
I thought I'd save some folks some trouble.

Tools Needed:
7mm socket or driver
Flatblade screwdriver

There are four nuts (with two washers each) holding up the lower speaker 
and amp housing.  There's a flat washer, a lock washer, and the nut.  
They like to fly in different directions after the nut is loose, so pay 
attention.  The right speaker is pretty simple.  I had to use a 
flatblade screwdriver to undo the electrical connector.  Wiggle it back 
and forth and pry very gently on the tabs.

The left rear speaker has a nut that's a bit hard to get to.  Pull the 
rear carpeting on the floor and the wheel well/fender to get a tool up 
in there.  I'm contemplating whether or not to put that nut back on when 
I reassemble. 

Speaker housing will probably fall on your face after the last nut is 
out.  There's a small gasket that may stick to the upper housing or may 
come down with the speaker unit.

Do not try this on a windy day, as the wind will blow the trunk lid down 
and it will smash into your shins.
