There are 5 or 6 clips across the front of that trim piece. I gently pried in the middle and it popped up for me.
Be careful when pulling it towards you, I left a small scratch in the grainy section on the dash. Hard to see, but I know it's there.

Carefully just pry up the panel closest to the windshield. You will have to run your own wires to the speakers. I spliced in behind the radio because I had the door panels off replacing the stock door speakers (which by the way are 6x9 in the front doors and 6.5" in the back doors), so I knew the wire colors for each side.
I have Pioneer 4 way 6x9's in the front doors, Sony Xplode 6.5" way's in the rear doors and Infinity Reference 3.5" in the dash using the supplies bass blocker resistor so they don't blow.
I wouldn't bother changing the rear door speakers though, they get very little power and have really heavy magnets and sound as good as the Sony's.

you said not to change your rear speakers because they get too little power. if you change you HU, wouldnt it be better then to change them since a new HU puts out way more power?

hey damien, what are the dimensions for your sub box and where did you get it?
also, how big of a difference would the speakers in the dash make? i didnt even know i had them and when i tried to listen for them, i still couldnt hear them. i might not even had them. i see the 3 circles in the dash for what looks like speakers and the 3 rectangular air vents
just wondering, which rams came with the 4 speaker setup and which with the 7?

there should be 3 round vents in your dash right where the windshield is.. with the rectangular vents... their isnt any speakers in them unless you have the infinity sound... but you can put speakers in there thats what im gonna do
