Trouble w/ Front and Rear Speaker Removal
Trouble w/ Front and Rear Speaker Removal
I am having a little trouble removing my front and rear speakers. If anyone can give me tips on how to remove the front and rear speakers, i would appreciate it.
For the rear ones, assuming you have a hatchback. Get a screwdriver and pry the speaker covers off (pry close to the rear bench first), they'll pop up and slide out. Then just unscrew the speaker, 4 screws (This will be a pain in the ***, get some really short screwdriver, stubby type or whatever you can get to fit in there). Once they are out, just slide the connector off the speaker. Make sure you know which wire is positive and negative if you decide to cut the connector to splice/crimp your new speakers onto those wires.
Tip, you might need to get rid of that plastic housing that holds the speaker and build some kind of bracket to hold your new ones tightly, I had to since my new speakers didn't have the exact shape of the stock ones.
For the front ones, well you gotta take the door panel off. Doing this from memory, it should be pretty accurate anyways...Driver side : 1)Pry the plastic thing around the inside door handle.2)There's a screw under a little round plastic plate that your need to remove near the side mirror.3)Then there's a screw in the plastic thing that has the commands for the electric windows (assuming you have those), it's under a little panel. Then pry out the plastic thing and disconnect the electric windows plug.4)Now you have to pop a few clips that hold the door panel to the door, just start at the bottom corner, there's like 4-5 at most and they are all at the bottom and side of the door panel.5)Once all the clips are off, just push the door panel upwards, it'll slide out and you're done, you have access to the speaker. To reinstall the panel, just slide it downwards until it holds steady and push the clips back in and reinstall all the plastic stuff you got off the doors.
Passenger side: Same as driver's except you need to unscrew 1 or 2 screws to get the passenger handle out, the rest is the exact same as the driver's side.
