Thoughts on ease of speaker replacement?

The three gauges replace it. Look at almost any other pic of the interior to see it.

A total of 8 speakers.

As pointed out, there are speakers next to the rear passengers. Whatever those are in the rear deck, they aren't speakers. They never looked like speaker grills anyways to me.

The picture he posted has the gauges, not the radio. If you didn't know the radio was there normally you wouldn't know where it was..

there you go, at the dashboard in the corner

i think those are supposed to be the holes for the roll cage

edit: nvm. that smaller one looks like a tweeter. i guess the holes for the rollcage will be on the "barebones" model

I don't think the holes made it to production.

I agree but I'm sure it would have been a trade off.. how many people are really going to put cages in these cars? A few for sure, especially for a one-model spec series, but those same people are already destroying the car from a value perspective, cutting a hole in the dash like they would do with every other car isn't going to be any real annoyance to them.

That rear speaker looks tiny, like maybe 4" or maybe 5 1/4. Aside from the dash mounted speakers, the door and rear should be a straightforward swap with removing screws and popping the clips.

When Moto mentioned the roll cage statement, he later confirmed on his FB that he was referring to the dash being recessed and not actual holes in the dash for a cage to go through. The holes on the VLN were probably last minute mod.

Agreed. Those should work for rear fill, which is fine. The three way setup if done right up front could eliminate the need for those rear speakers anyways. I'll be sure to fade mine all the way to the front for testing. I'm still undecided whether or not I want a system in this car and if I do how crazy I want to go.. whatever I do will be easily removable for track/autocross usage. I currently leave the amps in the ITR when I track/autocross it though.. too lazy to remove it.

Makes sense on the holes. VLN just cut the dash like any other race car would have done which makes sense.
