That's great, can you ask it how? Are there screws or is it all with a spudger to pop clips?

Sorry, I didn't understand her instructions. I've tried google translate but no luck.

There are 3 screws - one in the door opener recess and two at the bottom of the indent in the door handle, all behind plastic covers you can pop out with a trim tool.
Remove screws then work your way around the door card popping out the clips. Firm tugs and/or trim tool. When the card is loose it will hang from the top. Lift up to release top edge and card will come away.
Then release 2 X door opener/lock cables, 2 X wiring harness plugs from door controls and the power cable for the puddle light at the bottom to free the door card completely.
It's an easy 5 minute job. Lots of videos on YouTube if you just search GR86/BRZ door card removal or speaker installation.
Good luck!

I've just finished installing the Focal kit - it works - nothing needed modifying - it all fitted just like OEM - it sounds better.
Will do a write up when I've got a mo.

Presumably before the install you had the recommended audio settings. After the install, have you kept those settings, or started again? And how much better does it sound?

I had the tweaked setting to make it sound as good as it could yes.
I reset them back to neutral and it already sounded better.
I added a bit of bass and treble without distortion like the OEM would have but need to play with it a bit more to finalise a sound I like. At least there is adjustability now as the crap OEM components limited it somewhat.
