If your door cards have been previously removed, you may as well take it/them off .
The issue arises where they are glued ( I think) along the top edge at the factory.  They take a fair whack to get them off once all the fixings are removed .
Rear is very similar to the front to remove . As I remember there is one central fixing which is hidden & takes a little thought to locate it . I think it is behind a cover plate or bung . Once door card is off ,speaker removal & access is easy.  If one side is working , just swap speakers & see what occurs.  Good luck  ;)

The front door cards definitely have been, as they are lose. The rears haven't. Thats what I need to do when refitting the fronts, glue them down? Been meaning to do that since I bought the car.

There is a strip at the top that hooks into the door, which comes loose 

Silkaflex or gripfill is your best bet

Quick time out as there's some 'dangle berries's knocking about...

The door card is manufactured with a plastic angle strip bonded under the top edge.

The inner skin of the door has several spring clips fitted to it.

The door card is fitted by first lowering the plastic strip into the metal clips and pushing firmly down. The various screws are then fitted securing the door card to the door.

Removal is the reverse.

Mistreatment results in the plastic strip coming away from the door card. This is what requires glueing... The plastic strip to the door card, nothing more, nothing less.

Contact adhesive is suitably suitable.

^^^^^^ This is how to sort out your doorcards....

The bottom will pull out to gain access to the speaker, but you will most likely also destroy the doorcard at the same time... Don't be afraid to remove the doorcard, its not a hard process and requires a " + " screwdriver and possibly a small lever - maybe a plastic scraper type to remove the doorcard off the door with the plastic keepers...

Bought a secondhand rear and front omega spreakers from eBay. When to fit and too my surprise, the last owner had upgraded all the speakers to 60w pioneers, with a 4x65w Sony headed unit. I thought great now the speakers will not match. Fitted the omega front and the sound was cutting out. So I thought are the pioneers o.k and it is a wiring issue? Turns out it was the connectors, after some fiddling, refitted both pioneers and their working perfectly now. Systems sounds great, worth the three hours stripping both doors down😀
