On our former Milano, the tweeters were fine (I think they have plastic 
cones) but the speakers on the parcel shelf and in the doors were toast.  It 
is possible to remove the clips from the bottom of the interior door panel 
and pry it outward just enough to reach in and replace the speakers w/o 
taking off the entire door panel.  It's a good idea to have anew set of clips 
handy, because the old ones will not survive (and probably several are 
already broken).  Access to the speakers under the parcel shelf is easier and 
doesn't take as many contortions.  It's been mentioned that the speakers are 
of an odd size but I didn't find that to be true, found Panasonic 
replacements quite easily, off the shelf.  They are a standard size somewhere.
