Re: front speakers on 4kcsq

Are they the same as those on a Coupe GT?  If they are, there is no need
for the glove box to come off, just those pesky vents.  Even then you will
have to do some creative work with the speaker covers since they are glued
to the factory speakers.  Nothing that an exacto knife, some glue, and a
lot of patience can't fix. ;-)
