Default Speaker replacement

Is it possible to replace the door speaker without completly removing the door panel (like coming in from the bottom?)
Thanks

Not that I know of.

I pulled the door panel on mine today for the first time. It was rather easy. You should try it.

Any tricks or warnings you want to share or is it straight forward?

Thanks GG03; those are some excellent, detailed instructions.
I guess I'm just a little concerned with damaging (read; breaking somthing) the door panel when I remove it. I pulled the panels on the C4's I had a few times, and I think I broke somting every time
Would it help to have a speical tool to pull the clips??
Thanks Guys
