How Do You Remove The Rear Speakers?

[galtem]

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to upgrade my rear speakers in my 2000 Sephia and it's turning out to bea little tougher than I thought. It looks like the speaker grills are part of the rear deck cover itself. So, I'm trying to remove the rear deck, but it's held in place on the sides by the sections of the seats that don't fold down -- how do you get those out? It looks like you may have to remove the part of the rear seat you sit on -- if so, how does that come out? It looks like its held in two places near the front, but I can't tell what mechanism holds it down. Thank you in advance for any help!

Quoted post

yes you will need to remove the rear seat back part. (the part your back uses).
from there you will see the 2 i think it is bolts. then remove the third brake light cover and unplug the wires for third brake light. the back piece then will come off and have access to the speakers. unhook the speakers from inside trunk!

in my 02 spectra, i had to remove the back seat (the part you sit on top of) so i could get to the bolts that held the sides of the seat that do not fold down. then i could get to the back shelf.
