Just remove the speaker grille 2 phillips screws and the speakers mounts on the top of the dash

I've had the grill off and I don't see any way to get the speaker off from the top. There is one bolt that looks like part of the dash support but there is no access to the backside of the speaker and nothing on the speaker to un-do or turn that would get it out. I did try to get at it from the south but didn't see it, but the mention of taking the hose off might help.

Hey jim once you remove the grill. Just lift on the speaker side to side/it has sort of these lockign tabs almost the a angle piece of metal that locks it down into the dash. Kinda spring loaded I guess.
It will come right out.
hope this helps

I've got the grill off and there is no sign of how to get it out. It mounts pretty much flush so there isn't enough to grab hold of to move it. There's no access to the back of the speaker from the top either.

Thanks to the advice here I knew where to put the force. The car is still pretty new to me, I don't know where I can force things and where I can't, and a speaker is something I can wait on. I gave it some more persuasion adnit came out. Except I didn't see any connector, now what?

On my 300E the speaker is removed by first poping up the plastic molding that frames the right side of the speaker cover grid. Screws are then exposed that allow the speaker to be removed. This is also an alternative way to push out the instrumeent panel. Reach in the speaker hole and push the instrument panel out.
