Rob, GM does not use crossovers for the tweeter and woofer separates in the front doors. The components are simply wired in parallel. Not the best for sound quality, but I guess it's cheaper.

The speaker covers are attached to the rear deck covers with nuts that are put in from the back. Basically, the speaker grilles have a series of posts on the perimeter (maybe 6 or 8?) that protrude through the rear deck cover. I don't know if you've ever seen these nuts that look like they've been stamped from a light gauge sheet metal, and are used to self thread themselves onto the plastic posts.

You wouldn't be able to pry the covers off without damaging something.
