Carefully remove the handle trim and unscrew the four Torx screws (T-20) present. Then, extract and disconnect the window lift switch.

At this point, remove the entire trim panel and disconnect the cable connected to the door opening lever. You can now replace the speaker adapter and the speaker itself with an aftermarket one. Reconnect the door opening cable to the lever and reposition the panel.

Insert the window lift switch and screw the handle screws back in, which you will finally cover with the panel removed at the beginning. The video features a 2009 Opel Astra.
