Anybody know what size replacements to buy and how to get access to them?

Thanks!

On the front in the dash, you just pry up the plastic piece on the edge of the grille and slide it forward. Then, take out the small screws to access the speakers.

The rear grill covers snap in place. If I recall you push in at the base of the vertical side and then gently pull up, unsnaping the cover.
I think the speakers are 120mm, a very limited size for replacements. I replaced mine with 120mm Rockford Fosgate replacements ($100/pair). Sounds much better than stock but still lacks bass so I installed a tube style subwoofer. Hope this helps.
