Alright, since the other DIY pics aren't up, I have took some just for the beginner to see what basically needs to be done. I really like to DIY everything just because you learn so much more from it. Plus, if anything screws up, you only have yourself to blame!
This DIY is not really a full one, just one to show what and where everything is.
Tools:
New speakers
Panel Popper or Screwdriver
Wrench Set preferably with extensions
Patience (not a tool..but shut up...lol)
First of all, flip down the rear seats. Im pretty sure everyone knows how to do this. Just stick the key in on the rear deck and turn according to which side you are flipping down (in this case, both sides)
Now, you will have something like this. This is my amp install, I have yet to finish wiring everything because I ran out of wire. But 4 channel amp running to all four speakers! woot!
You might want to remove the side door moulding or just move it aside. I found it easier to remove it in the beginning. You probably dont need to remove, but I was running wires around my car. Just a clip holding the skinny part, pull it out but dont break anything
Now, for the side back rests. If you look at the bottom of each side of the side, there should be a bolt holding it in. Right here.
You might need to push the seat down to gain access to the bolt, but heres where it is:
Alright, this was probably the most problematic part of this whole DIY. To take out the side back rests, you will need to push up on the whole panel (towards the roof). It was alot easier to just gain access to the back by removing the cover via a black tab right next to the backrest.
For me, I just pushed up on this white tab and wiggled it up using my thumb.
It should end up looking like this!!
*Note, never start this DIY at 7 in the evening, makes you stop and start again the next day.. oh well. TAKE YOUR TIME
At this point, we should take off half of the door moulding just enough to uncover the c-pillar.
Remove the defrost plugs from the window, one on each side, just pull it off.
Pop off the C-pillar using a panel popper. Just be careful not to break anything. Here are where the clips are in the panel.
Now, we should almost be ready to take off the rear deck. But we need to pop off the seat latch cover, not a big deal. Just pop off the cover.
Before you start ripping your rear deck apart, remember to go through the trunk to unplug your 3rd brake light. Just a clip, pinch both sides and pull away.
Sorry I dont have a picture for this one, but basically the deck is held on by clips. Carefully use your panel popper, or screwdriver to pop out each clip. For ease, I went undernieth the deck (inside the trunk) and used pliers to aid in taking them out. I just pinched the sides and pushed them out. Just be careful and dont force anything out.
When all the clips are out from the bottom, just give it a pull towards you and it will come out.
Now when you have ur deck out, take out thoes crappy stock speakers with just 3 10mm screws.
Here should be the stock paper speakers.. dun dun dunnnn
Install your new speakers (will probably require drilling new holes, not big of a deal) and reassemble all the parts in backwards order.
Just be sure to reconnect your 3rd brake light. You may get pulled over if you dont
Well this is what I've got, not the best, but still some pics to get people started. Have fun and don't hesitate to msg me.
Be patient with your work and this is all about learning
Cheers
