So is there any major different in the installation for the sedan than what brolewis posted here? (coz his is a coupe)

actually yeah
the rears are SUPER easy on the sedan, as the grills pop right out, you don't have to remove the rear deck.
as for the fronts, the panels seem easier to take off compared to his DIY. first thing you do is use a flat edge screwdriver intisde the grab handle and pry up the black piece that houses the auto lock/window controls, then once you've got the back edge pried up, you push it back and it's off. then disconnect the plug for it. once you do that, there's a silver screw towards the back of the arm rest, still inside the grab handle, that you unscrew. you also do the same thing w/ the inside door handle as the coupe, pry out the cover, unscrew the screw, then pop off the other plastic fastener towards the front of the handle.
after that it's the same, just pull on the bottom of the panel (outer edge is easiest imo), then once you have all of the fasteners removed, gently lift the panel up and away from the door. i didn't bother disconnecting the door handle and lock wires, i just set the panel on a box (it sat upright) away from the door while i replaced the speaker.
i have a feeling that with more power the polks would have sounded pretty good, but i'd read that they def lacked lower bass compared to others, but that the clarity was fantastic. honestly i didn't think they were much better than my old Infinity Reference 6.5's from my 2000 civic. i may try those in my new car too, just to see, but for now i think i'm just going to stick w/ the stocks until i find a recommendation of a killer combo of speakers to use w/ the stock head unit sans amp. the stock EX system isn't BAD (i'm sure it's pretty darn good on the Coupe), but was just hoping for a bit more clarity is all, it's plenty loud
