to get the door panel off there are 3 screws 1 behind the door handle, one in that figure grip bit around centre of the trim and the last one should be in the air con vent connector (the circle bit towards the front of the car then all you need to do is pull the panel off as they are only clipped on.

to run the wiring into the door you can do it two ways. 1. just use the wire that already in the door and solder more wire if needed to extend the wire, then use the wires off the main harness that go to each speaker and just run wiring to the amp from there.
2. find out where the wire comes inside the car, tie some new wire onto the existing wire in the door and just pull it through but making sure that its on tight so once you pull the wire through you dont undo the other wire

Just use the existing cable for the front speakers. It save a lot of hassles.

To remove the door trim take the small triangle piece off near the side mirror. If you have power windows just take out the panel with the switches on it and disconnect it. If you have the regular winder someone else can tell you or just use the search function as it has been covered several times.

There are 3 screws to remove. There is one inside the little hand grip hole or whatever it is called under a small plastic cover. There is one behind the door opening latch thing. And there is one where the air runs through into the door.

The rest is held in be clips and should just pull off. I think that is all. Hope it helps.
