Owners of other Hyundai, Kia and Genesis vehicles such as the Santa Fe, Kona, Elantra, Sonata, Accent, Veloster, Ioniq, Nexo, G80, G90, Stinger, Rio, Forte, Optima, Cadenza, K900, Soul, Niro, Sportage, Sorento and Sedona may also find these DIY instructions to be helpful.

The tools needed to remove the door panel include a small flathead screwdriver or a plastic pry bar tool and a Phillips head screwdriver.

To replace the OEM door speakers, you'll need a Phillips head screwdriver.

Move to the top inner corner of the door panel and pry off the triangular shaped sail panel with the plastic pry bar tool.

Set the sail panel aside in a safe place.

On some Hyundai or Kia models, the sail panel contains the tweeter speaker with a electrical connector that will need to be disconnected.

Then use a small flathead screwdriver to gently pry open the screw cover in the bottom of the door pull handle well in the center of the armrest.

Pry open the front edge since the screw cover is hinged at the rear edge.

Set the Phillips head screw aside in a safe place.

Firmly pull out the bottom edge of the door panel to release the pop rivet friction fasteners.

Continue pulling out the pop rivets all along the bottom edge and both sides of the door panel.

Once all the pop rivets have been released, carefully lift the plastic door panel up and off the metal lip at the top of the door frame.

Push in the release tab on the small white plastic electrical connector for the power door lock before pulling it straight out of the socket.

Then push in the release button for the larger white plastic switch panel electrical connector before pulling it straight out of its socket.

Push in the release tab on the rear edge of the bracket.

Set the plastic door panel aside in a safe place.

Pry out any stuck pop rivets and re-attach them to the plastic door panel.

Push in the release tab on the speaker's electrical connector before sliding it straight out of its socket.

To remove the OEM door speaker, loosen the four Phillips head screws in the counterclockwise direction.

The OEM front door speakers can be replaced with aftermarket car speakers in the following sizes: 6 1/2" (6.5") and 6 3/4" (6.75").

I highly recommend applying some Dynamat sound deadener to the metal door frame and the plastic door panel to help prevent any rattles or vibrations when you really crank up the volume.

Lower the front edge of the bracket for the door opener handle and door lock rocker switch cables into the mount.

Push down the rear edge of the bracket until it clicks securely into place.

Line up the pop rivets on the rear of the door panel with their corresponding holes in the metal door frame.

Firmly tap in the pop rivet friction fasteners all along the bottom edge and both sides of the plastic door panel.

Tighten it in the clockwise direction with a Phillips head screwdriver.

Gently snap the plastic screw cover down into place.

Push the sail panel back into place to secure the friction fasteners.

Sit inside the SUV, close the door and verify that the door opener handle, door lock rocker switch, power window switch, power door lock switch and the door speaker are all working properly.

Be sure to record the speaker upgrade in your vehicle's service records.
