Default Need Help Installing

I just blew my passenger door speaker and now im trying to replace the speaker (with another monsoon speaker) and I dont know how to get the old blown speaker out to replace it. I dont want to take off the whole door panel or risk breaking the speaker cover if i dont have to. I know going to get a lot of **** for asking this but i sware i looked a lot to try and find if anyone had any info that could help me out but i came up with nothing.
Thanks
Matt

The door panel comes off quite easily. There are 5 screws that attach it to the door. Once those are removed, lift up on the panel. The speaker is secured with 4 7-mm screws to the baffle.

One screw in the map holder
One screw under the window controls(which needs to be popped out)
One screw at the rear of the interior door grip
One screw holding the backing plate for the door lock
One screw behind the back plate
Lift up on the panel being careful not to break off the tabs
Position it so the speaker can be removed
Remove the speaker and install the new one
Reverse the order for reinstallation
