: front speakers and not breaking a cracked dash pad

Hello-
My 75 dash pad has three mighty cracks in it.
I want to replace the front dual speakers probably with the Kenwood dual dash 40W from ecparts.

Can I replace the speakers from below? Or just be real careful and take off the dash? Or just set a few tweets at headlevel - There will be two other speakers probably two 6.5s boxed on the back wall pointing up but hopefully in the kick panel. Whaddya think?

Now just have to decide about the Kenwood tape player. I really want to have a CD player. It seems that unless I mount it below the dash under the existing radio with some kind of fabricated/painted sheet metal casing, I'd have to cut the dash, have a CD changer, or would have to fuss with a remote control, all things I'm avoiding.

Well, thanks!

If you can figure out how to swap the speaker without removing the dash cap, please let me know. My dash is in tact, but I would like to replace my speaker, and do not want to risk cracking the dash!
