search is your friend.

OK - You need to remove the back seat and shelf to get to your rear speakers.
1.) Remove the rear seat bottom cushion. ( Pull on the 2 plastic rings on each edge. )
2.) Remove the 2 bolts on the outside edges of the seat back.
3.) Fold down the arm rest and door behind the arm rest. Lift the carpet and remove the 2 bolts. Push up on the seat back to remove.
4.) Remove the 3rd brake light assembly.
5.) Pull back the door edge molding.
6.)Pry out on the rear pillar trim panels to release the clips. Let them hang by the rear seat belts.
7.) Pry up the rear deck panel and slide it toward the front to remove.
8.) Now you can get to your speakers
Good luck.

It starts by pulling on the 2 tabs located on the bottom of the cushion. You just have to pull on the tabs and lift and the seat should come right out.


now when the bottom of the seat is removed 2 bolts are revealed on each side of the seat. I don't remember what size they are.


there are 2 bolts behind the armrest, remove these and the seat should come out.


Once that is off all you need to do is remove the rear deck. To get it off, you have to remove the side panels by the rear passenger windows that hold the rear deck down. Both panels are a pain to get off, you just have to bite your lip and pull hard.


Be careful when removing the panel the seat belt thing is sensitive to pressure be careful not to break it.


make sure you disconnect the rear dash brake light
connector before you remove the rear deck


from inside the trunk, you may need your pliers here, pop these up (I think there are 3 of these pins), and the deck should come out.


to remove the speaker from the car there are 4 three screws (I believe they are Philips), and disconnect the amp.
