Is this a PITA?   

PacecarTA:
they come out from the top
remove the grille panel and the speakers are held in with two phillips head screws

SuperSix:
Yep - Use a #2 Philips bit and a 1/4" wrench to ease removal of the speaker screws.

Using one of those right angle screwdriver sure helps the process.  Hope you found some speakers with the same dimensions as the stock ones.  If not, you'll find that you may have to mount the speakers from the bottom of the dash instead sitting on the top of the dash to keep the upper dash trim plate sitting flush.  I had to do this.  Just move the nutplate from the dash to the speaker and then turn the speaker a little side ways to get it throught the speaker hole and inside the dash. Now the tricky part is holding the speaker up to the dash while starting the screws.  It was super easy doing this with the instrument cluster removed on the drivers side and with the glove box out of the way on the passernger side.  Good luck!
