NEED QUICK ANSWER: Installing rear 6x9s in 7th Gen Question I am installing new speakers in my girlfriends civic. She has a 2001, 2 door EX model. I already installed the front speakers no problem, but I can't seem to get the back trunk deck panel off. From inside the trunk, I undid all of the white clips, and trid to pop it off from inside the car, but I can't seem to get it. Is there more I need to do? How do I get to the rear 6x9's so I can take them out? Her car is sitting in my driveway and we need to get it done, so I need a quick answer! THANKS!

You need to take the back side panels of to get the rear dash off (perferably both, but it is possible to get it off just taking off one of the panels). The side panels hold the rear dash down. Also, you need to take out the back seats to get out the side panels.
Also, most aftermarket 6 by 9s will hit the trunk spings, just so you know.

Rep Power: 304 seats come out, side panels come out, then the deck lid comes off, and yes, it is a bitch to do... there was a DIY at one time, but im not sure if its still there... be prepared to do some in car gymnastics to get it if you are a taller person (i am 6'1")
