On the Express/Savanna vans some of the front speaker housings are rivetted to the door and the paper element is fused to the plastic housing. On other vans there is a speaker housing bolted to the door and the speaker bolts to the housing. Both appear to use a 6.5" speaker but you can't afix an aftermarket speaker to the housing with the fused speaker element.
I need to figure out when this change occurred because I need new front speakers for my 2004 Chevrolet Express 3500. I would pull the door cards to figure out what is installed in mine but it is below freezing and something will probably break.
Cant tell/remember if the plastic housing was bolted to the door..... most likely riveted. But remember very well unscrewed both door speakers to replace them.
I have a 2004 Savana 3500.
This process took me about half an hour per door.
