My brother has a 1992 s-10 blazer(4-door). we were installing his 6.5" speakers and came across a problem. What are holding the speakers in? They arent screws. They look like the could be screws but they have a round hole in the middle of them. I thought they might be like a metal plug of some sort. Anybody know how to pull out the rear speakers in the rear doors??

I don't remember exactly what that vehicle is like, but those things you're describing sort of sound like they may be pop rivets. I tried to find a pic online of what a rivet looks like once it's installed but the best I could come up with is this pic of a passat door panel removed, showing the speaker riveted to the door. It's the very last picture on the page.

Unfortunately, the only way to remove a rivet once it's been "popped" is to drill it out.

That is exactly what they looked like. I just pulled it out a little ways and cut it with a wire cutter, then popped it out the back.
