I found this by doing a search and thought someone else may find this useful. It's from 7thgencivic.com

To Replace front speakers in your 7th gen:

1. Remove screw inside door handle.
Pop out the cover using a very small flat screwdriver from the front and remove the screw using a phillips.

2. Use small flat to pop open the cover inside the door latch.
Remove two phillips screws there.

3. Detach door latch by prying out from front, and detach door latch connecting rod from clip by first unclipping it, then popping the rod out from underneath.

4. Remove power window switch panel (front of entire door handle). Contrary to earlier reports, it is not necessary to remove the rubberized rear section of that. Pop out the front of the handle, and slide forward. Remove the two screws you see in picture 3.

5. Use panel popper to pry out tweeter section (if equipped) from hypotenuse of triangular piece.

Let tweeter mount hang.

6. Pull with fingers by inserting into front bottom of door panel (there is a space there) and give it a good tug.

7. Remove remaining clips by using the panel popper. Insert panel popper between clip and door, and use leverage.


8. Lift rear end of panel first, and then slowly work towards the front. Unplug all power accessories connected to door panel.


9. You will now see the speaker mounted on the door. Insert panel popper into the slot located at the top of the speaker frame and press down. Pull top half of speaker away from door slowly until the metal clip has cleared the door. Lift lower half of speaker upwards.
