More help on replacing front speakers in 1999 Accord

I've searched the newsgroups, found some tips, and even bought the Chilton
book, but I'd still like a few more details on replacing the front speakers
in my 1999 Accord Coupe (EX/V6). I got the door latch/auto lock piece out,
and then took out the screw that goes vertical down into the handle.
Okay...then what? Am I just supposed to start pulling out the entire door
covering? Do I need to remove the trim piece up by the mirror? Do I need to
remove the weather stripping that runs underneath the door right against
the trim panel? I bought a trim-removal tool...but I guess I got too scared
of messing something up to just stick it behind the panel and start prying
it up. Any advice from someone who has actually done this on the 99 Accord
Coupe would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

remove trim piece by the mirror, then pull the panel off starting at the
bottom.It is just snaps holding it.

Pull along the bottom and sides of the door panel to pop all the clips.
There is a big one below the side view mirror. You can see it on the door
panel. After all the clips are free, lift upwards to remove the door panel.
Disconnect any wiring harnesses are there and then move on to the speaker.

As for the speaker, I hope you've found a direct replacement because I had
to custom make a speaker mounting ring for the 6.5" Focal midbass I dropped
in.
