Owners of other Infiniti and Nissan vehicles such as the JX35, Q50, Q60, QX30, QX50, QX80, Pathfinder, Murano, Rogue, Armada, Kicks, Frontier, Titan, NV, NV200, 370Z, GT-R, Leaf, Maxima, Altima, Sentra and Versa might also find these DIY instructions to be helpful.

The tools needed to take off the door panels include a plastic pry bar tool, a small flat head screwdriver, a Phillips head screwdriver or a 10mm socket with a 1/4" drive ratchet.

The OEM front door speakers are held in place by four bolts that can be removed with either a Phillips head screwdriver or a 10mm socket with a 1/4" drive ratchet.

The first few steps are to lower the power window and fully open the door.

Pry out the small trim piece located behind the chrome silver door opener handle with a small flat head screwdriver.

Set the trim piece aside in a safe place.

Pry out the plastic cover on the back side of the well with the small flat head screwdriver.

Set the cover aside in a safe place.

Remove the bolt located behind the door opener handle by turning it in the counterclockwise with a 10mm socket attached to a short extension bar and a 1/4" drive ratchet.

You could also use a Phillips head screwdriver.

Remove the two bolts in the center of the armrest by turning them in the counterclockwise direction with the 10mm socket, an extension bar and the 1/4" drive ratchet.

(Again, you could also use a Phillips head screwdriver.)

Move to the bottom edge of the door panel.

Insert the plastic pry bar tool or a large flat head screwdriver in between the bottom edge of the plastic door panel and the metal door frame.

Firmly pull out the bottom edge of the door panel to release the white plastic pop rivets.

Continue pulling out the friction fasteners all along the bottom edge and both sides of the door panel.

Push in the release tab on the white plastic electrical connector and slide it straight out of its socket.

Lift the plastic door panel up and off the top of the metal door frame.

Tilt the top edge of the door panel towards yourself to access the back side.

The top cable operates the door lock rocker switch and the bottom cable operates the door opener handle.

Pull the black plastic collar near the end of the upper cable out of its bracket.

Swing the cable out away from the rear of the door panel and lift the metal bar out of its socket.

Then pull the plastic collar on the lower cable out of the "C" shaped bracket.

Locate the large white plastic electrical connector for the switch panel.

Push in the release tab on the power plug before sliding it straight out of its socket.

The OEM (original equipment manufacturer) front door speaker is located at the front bottom corner of the metal door frame.

The OEM front door speaker can be replaced with aftermarket speakers in the following sizes: 5 1/4", 6 1/2" and 6"x9".

Some aftermarket speakers may require a mounting bracket or modifications to the door frame.

I highly recommend applying some Dynamat sound deadener to the metal door frame and the back side of the plastic door panel to help stop any vibrations or rattles when you crank up the volume.

To replace the plastic door panel, hold it near the metal door frame and tilt the top edge towards yourself.

Slide the electrical connector for the switch panel straight into its socket.

You should hear or feel the connector "click" securely into place.

Swing the cable towards the door panel and push the black plastic collar into the "C" shaped holder on the bracket.

Lower the metal elbow bar on the end of the door lock rocker switch cable into the upper socket.

Swing the cable towards the door panel and push the black plastic collar into its holder on the bracket.

Double check that the two cables are securely attached before moving on to the next steps.

Don't forget to plug in the electrical connector for the courtesy step light housing.

You should feel or hear the connector "click" securely into place.

Line up the white plastic pop rivets on the back side of the door panel with their corresponding holes in the metal door frame.

Replace the bolt behind the door opener handle by tightening it in the clockwise direction with the 10mm socket, an extension bar and the 1/4" drive ratchet until it is snug.

Try to avoid over tightening the bolts to prevent from cracking the plastic door panel.

Lower in the plastic trim cover and snap it back into place.

Close the door and verify that the door opener handle, door lock rocker switch, power window switch, power door lock switch and the speaker are all still working properly.

Be sure to write down the speaker upgrade or any other procedure in your vehicle's service records.
