I know that there are some good DIY on this site that I found using the search function, but I honestly don't remember what they are.

I can say that you may want some foam tape for weatherstripping doors to use on the front of the door speakers where they can seal against the door panel back.

Are you planning to go for the Bavarian SoundWerks speakers replacement kit? If yes please let us know what you think about the sound improvement once installed. Also if you can take some pics while you do the installation that would be great.
Thanks

This is actually the thread that started me looking at the BSW kit, but not that many hints, tips and tricks on the actual install.......

Sounds like your kit will be delivered first, any pics of the install to help me along would be greatly appreciated, especially removing the door panels with no damage !

Thanks
