How to remove rear deck (for subwoofer)?

I need some detailed instructions on how I can get to the rear deck (through the backseat) so I can lay some damplifier on it and the subwoofer frame. The instructions on Housecor's site are a little too broad and not very specific, IMO -- so I'd like some help with a bit more detail.

I recently went back and added another layer of dampening material. I already had "dynamat" on the deck but was still getting some rattles. I went to Home Depot, bought some carpet padding and lined the deck with that. No more rattles and I think (could just be in my head) that the bass is cleaner than before. I also dynamatted the child seat tie downs and the 3rd brake light.

Let me know if you need help with removing everything if your buddy doesn't get back to you.

I tried taking mine out just half an hour ago..

The 1 problem I have encountered so far - is the little black plastic screws attaching the rear deck to the metal behind the seats. Its more of of a clip than a screw, so keep that in mind when it doesnt seem to come out..

Also - it it neccessary to take off the C pillars to get the rear deck off?
