the accord door panels have to be pulled out from the door, then up (once all the screws are removed)

The DX and LX accords have 6.5" speakers all the way around. The EX and SE models have 5" (NOT 5.25") up front and 6x9s in the rear. The rear speaker "pods" are removed from the underside, in the trunk... then they lift out of the rear deck and the grilles can be removed to expose the speakers.
