you have to peel off the bracket, it's glued and screwed on. I have an 01.

I like Boston Acoustics, and have 6.5's in the front and 6x9's in the rear driven by a Pioneer headunit that puts out 50x4 RMS

Boston only makes speakers, so they have to be good. Matter of factly, they make Dodge's new extremely high end factory system.

My bimmer has Carver branded speakers in it, and the factory system is THX certified. STILL sounds better than the X after over about $1500 of aftermarket stuff.

Just remember that midline speakers are plenty, the mounting locations you get in the X aren't the best in the world.
