I also own a 2G. You don't have to take the dash out to gain access to the speaker up there. Just use a flathead screwdriver to pop it out. Extremely easy. The stock speaker is attached to the grill. I seperated my stock speaker and the grill and mounted the tweeter to my component set in it's place, and put the mid in the stock door location. This way everything looks stock and clean...still sounds awesome though. Let me know if you need more help, I've worked on these car ALOT and know them inside and out.
