DIY: Installing Rear Speakers in a Sedan

draganjr · 01-09-2004

Does any one have pics of speakers installed in the rear?

Amer786, i Dont know about mountign depth but if you got infinity's then get a kick panel enclosure for like $100 off of ebay and save yourself alot of screwing around with the door. Your speakers are the ones with the seperate tweeter right? If so you'll get much better sound from the Kick panel.

QIUCK QUESTION ABOUT THE REAR SPEAKERS!
DID YALL HAVE TO DRILL NEW HOLES FOR THE AFTERMARKET SPEAKERS TO FIT?
OR WIL THE SPACERS FROM CRUTCHFIELD (SPELLING) WORK?
(SORRY FOR THE ALL CAPS)?!?
THANK YOU

When will manufacturers find a way to install speakers so you can just unscrew them from the back side? (from the trunk area) DUH! With todays' technology and everything else you would think this could be done a hell of a lot easier than than the way it is now... Way to go Honda.

Yea, that's a b*tch to remove. Tore my hands all up tring to get that back panel out. Way to go Honda once again. The hardest part was the tubes and other wires on the sides getting in my way!

They sure don't make these cars easy to work on but I suppose they don't design them that way.

Anyway, you don't have to remove the bolts on the side seat panels. Just use a long screw driver to pry the plastic tab up a little and just move the side seat panels out of the way. I tried removing one of the bolts and said "forget that!"

So I found I didn't need to anyway.

Here is a great tip! IF you are replacing speakers you better put some baffles behind them!! If you have a sub in the trunk you could damage your 6.5inch speakers from the pressure. Baffles are cheap and you can get them at PepBoys. I forgot to do this now I have to rip my back dash out again and start over.

Once my hands heal that is...

Oh yea, now my back dash rattles so keep in mind to make sure it's secure all the way. I may have something not right. Oh well!

Pop the deck and reinstall - sounds to me like a clip didn't pop back in when you reinstalled it the first time.
With practice, you can get the rear deck back on perfectly, first try...

lilravingmatt · 10-16-2004

oh it is hmmm let me try removing it again(3rd) time... i m like so newbie... maybe i just scared 2 bend things

UltimateWarrior · 10-17-2004

Yea, I know I am missing a few clips but I am tired of messing with it to be honest. I had to pull it out once again to remove a blown rear speaker and I left them out. I don't want speakers in the back, no need really. The back dash is a pain in the @ss to me. When I had it out this last time I installed a "Civic" logo to the third brake light which looks pretty cool, plus my light was out which I didn't even notice. So, everything is working now.

lilravingmatt · 10-18-2004

omg i cant get it out... i remove the sides above the rear dashboard right... the sides next 2 the window... i see pipes... prob the sunroff water draining thingys.... then i loosen the sides(ummm the side where ur arms would be touching if u sat normaly) yea... n i pop every clip... can pull it out... pop up n pull out cant... removed teh brake light thingy 2 ... omg

i try one more time later lol... freaken omg omg omg!!!! u know when i gave up i put it back in... i made one of my rear dashboard clip broke... cuz its not back in the hole!!! freaken civics! well i like it haha its my baby! n guess what it rained! free carwash haha =D anyways if ya peps have any suggestions plz

! btw i got a 2001 civic ex coupe ... the speakers are 6x9 i not sure it seems sorta 6x8 too o.0 correc me!

it's easy to get the rear deck out once you have all the other panels off, you need to unfasten the 3 clips in the front that kind of swing out, and then loosen 7 clips from the rear deck itself and unplug the brake light and it comes right out, it's not very hard to do at all.

Keep in mind folks, some people have more patience than others...!
