Somebody asked me how to get at the speakers on a KF 2017 on model. Ill attach the instructions on how to get at them but I thought its worth mentioning the following to anyone contemplating a speaker change.
The speaker fits into a large plastic module which is moulded and shaped to house various door bits. That module is actually a sealed plastic drum which has a pressure switch. The idea is, if something hits the side of the car with not enough force to trigger the side impact trembler switches, but enough to squash that plastic drum, the increase in pressure will cause the pressure switch to make contact and the airbag to deploy.
So! The moral of this story is that you can upgrade the speaker but unless you dont care about whether the secondary airbag protection works, you should not cut into that plastic housing or even use screws that are too long.
