    I’m up and prepping. Going over instructions and reading tips from everyone. I think I’m going to remove the speaker. Only 4 screws each so an added minute maybe.

    Done!! Well, tested, have to put everything back up. About 3 1/2 hours. Also took three water breaks and a taco break and watched some World Cup.
    Soap the wires through the boot. Remove the speakers. Might not take anyone that long. I also rewired my limited edition turn signals so I can turn them off with a switch.
    Off to put everything back up now. Love them!! Thanks to everyone who gave feed back and helped with instruction. Super helpful

    Rather than remove the speakers, you could just remove the weather/water plastic guard by just tugging sharply at the sealant/adhesive. It separates pretty cleanly if pulled correctly and sticks back in place right after.

    You’re absolutely correct. I had thought about that before I started but for me I personally liked removing the speaker to get my hand in and work with the boot and wires.
