if its not to late please seal those mdf adapters,they will deteriate in that back glass with the heat,alot of work im sure you dont want to do again anytime soon lol...should sound great!

Great write up :). Now I know what I will be getting into once it warms up some.

I can't get past taking out the top part of the backseat!!! Help please

nice, what a PITA just to replace them..:(

I have done a few installs but this is the hardest of any of them!! WTF :mad0260:

Really cool. But, I wouldn't do that myself. No way.

omg.... i never knew that changing out the rear speaker take that much work.....

Honestly, it looks like a lot of work but it isn't really THAT bad. I've had my rear deck out several times over the last couple months and I can have it out in 20 minutes and back together in another 30. If you want new speakers, and don't want some bone-head at Best Buy to thrash your car, go for it. Its a fun project.

Pull the seat forward and look to the left and right of the base on the backside. You will see the pivot point and where the small arms rest in the carriers. As you hold the seat forward at a 45 degree angle, reach down there and push the mouth of one side open. Rotate the arm out of the carrier. While continuing to hold the seat, move over to the other side and repeat.

The trick is that the arms are notched to only come out of the carrier if the seat is rotated 45 degrees to the front.

Good luck!

I finished it last night!:happyanim: Removing that part was the hardest because the rubber piece was sliding and covering the exit point.

Thanks for the write up and pictures.

Thanks for your write up, it made it easy to install. I had my laptop in my garage and kept going back to reference this post. It took me 2 1/2 hours from start to finish to do. The hardest part for me was taking out the screw on the back side panel.

Awesome write up!!!!

Was anyone else able to do this without completely removing the backseats?

I did mine about a month ago and thought I'd see how far I could get without removing the back seats. I managed to finish the entire job no problem.

If you're very careful you can get the drivers side panel completely off and the passengers side loose enough to life the deck cover off and rotate towards the drivers side and out of the car. You just have to be careful not to scratch the plastic.

I did mine exactly to this post. It saved me a lot of time. And now that I have taken it all apart, I know how and where I am going to mount my rear LED lights and rear footwell lights.
