[V8] New speakers

[Karl D. Middlebrooks]

I think they might be 5mm's in the armrest. I've had a couple of armrests 
off recently, so it's a little fresher in my mind. When taking the armrests 
off, I back each screw off a couple of turns, give it a good wiggle, and 
repeat until the armrest comes off.  Takes a few minutes, but you don't want 
those armrest screws coming all the way out.
