Rear Speaker Access
How do you access the rear speakers? Do the plastic grills on the back deck pry off, or is there something else? I've got a rattle back there that's bugging me...

Re: Rear Speaker Access
Nope--it's a PITA to get to them. You have to take out the rear seat bottom, both rear trim panels, door sills and the rear shelf tray. (Unless someone knows a better way without modifying parts)

Re: Rear Speaker Access
Yes + if you want to fit the rear deck de-ioniser/blower you also take out front seats + carpets + plastic tunnel under the seats!!!

Re: Rear Speaker Access
No trunk access as far as taking out and removing speakers, but if you're using very big speakers, you can leave off the upper cover on the inside of the stunk so they have more room.

Re: Rear Speaker Access
The first one I did it without removing the rear side panels but the seats and the seat backer panels did have to be removed but I don't recommend that way. lhopp77's method is pretty much correct. I still recommend putting in the adapters and converting to 6.5" round speakers especially if you are still running with the stockers.

Re: Rear Speaker Access
Yes it is a pain to change them out. Plus most new 6x9's are 2 or 3-way and the tweets won't fit under the stock grilles without making spacers or modifying the structure. I did find some sony's that fit nicely.
I have done it both ways above. It is possible to get the parcel shelf off by carefully pulling it out from the side panels, but this is a scary experience that can damage your interior parts. I'd take the 10 extra minutes to take of the side panels. It really wasn't that bad, but then I am 5ft 5in tall so working in the back seat isn't as hard for me.

Re: Rear Speaker Access
I mounted Boston Audo SR95s that have tweeters mounted on top and they cleared the stock covers--barely.

Re: Rear Speaker Access
For the rears?? 6x9's are the best way to go for the rears speakers, my Sony Xplods sound very good and fit under the grilles nicely..... plus after you get the stock ones out, you can leave the grilles loose and just laying on top, they dont move and it makes it much much easier to swap them out again as you no longer have to remove the rear deck.

Or, you can do like me and convert to a completely active setup utilizing component speakers up front, rear speaker delete and a subwoofer. Of course, there aren't too many HU's that can do this |
