I replaced my front speakers 4 years ago as a skinny 15-year old with
a socket set. All it took was the temporary removal of the parking
brake assembly (2 bolts that go through the firewall) and a fair
amount of patience - just trying to get the speaker to sit right on
those bolts was the hardest part. Passenger's side was much quicker.

It's the price of running top down in the rain, but I wouldn't have missed
it.

I replaced mine a few years ago as a not so skinny 40+ year old. I replaced
the original nuts with wingnuts. It was a lot easier than trying to get a
wrench in there and operate blind.
