I think somebody posted a DIY on the old site but i don't know if it still carried over to the new site.
~Make sure the speakers are not too thick because they might make contact with the trunk springs right unser the 6x9's.
1. You need 10mm and 14mm sockets and ratchet.
2.Start by unbolting the 10mm bolt located in the middle of the seat cushions( in the crack), then there are 2 bolts on the back of the left seat, take those off, you should be able to manuver the left seat out.
3. Then unbolt the right seat by taking of the bolt that holds it to the metal piece you just took the 2 bolts off of. You should then be able to manuever the right seat off. Now pull off the bottom seat cushion. THere are 2 clips that hold the bottom , just pull and they will pop out.
4. Take the 14mm socket and unbolt the seat belt rod boltthis will allow you to take off the side panel.
5. take out the screw that holds the side panel on each side. not its just a matter of pulling out the clips that hold the paneling to the body. start from the side and work towards the back. Be careful not to break any clips.
6 Once you get to the rear deck I found it easier to push it out from underneath in the trunk. That way you don't lose any clips.
I know I probably left out alot but hopefully this will help you. ANy questions let me know

Rep Power: 317 i didn't time myself, but i know i did it really quickly when i took out the rear speakers not too long ago. car was parked outside, and my *** was so hot, i rushed taking it out, hell, i didn't even remove the seat belt bracket, i just flexed the side panels from the top and removed the deck that way.
