Default I Need help with the speakers please

okay, so basically, i have bought 2 pair of speakers, 1 pair for the side doors, and 1 for the back{trunk}.
today i installed the side door speakers, and they work great. it took me about 2 hours because i had to take out the door panel, play with the wires a lil bit, but not too much, and put every thing back.
now, my questions is - tommorw, i will try to put the trunk speakers into place, but i looked under the trunk today to see how am i going to take out the old speakers, and it seems kind of hard because there is not alot of space to move under the trunk, and from the top of the trunk - i dont see no screws in there, just the factory speaker grill. i saw 2 bracket under the trunk if im not mistaken for each speaker, but thats also going to be a hard job considering the small space. Still, im not sure if thats what i need to do.
any advices?
thanks alot.

Are you referring to the 6x9's in the rear deck?
If so, then what you have to do is remove the screws from underneath to remove the plastic cover, then go back inside the cabin and pull the covers off, then remove the screws from the speakers and replace them and reinstall everything in reverse order.

yes, the ones that are under the rear window.
but wait, there are no screws underneath, there are brackets if thats what you mean, but its hard to reach place, doable, but hard, but lets say i do what you said, remove all the screws, and the plastic grill, do the wiring is also hard to do, or is it the same as the front speakers, just remove and plug back in?

You'll have to cut the factory speaker plug and solder in aftermarket female spade/blade (I think that's what they're called) connectors and then you're good to go.
I'm not sure what you have to hold the plastic cover in place but mine has screws that's why I mentioned it, but it doesn't matter though. Whatever is under there, remove it. I just laid in the trunk with my feet sticking, lol, out and unscrewed the covers.

I believe I used 18-20 gauge. The size of the spade isn't what's measured, it's the wire size. You don't necessarily need to match the female end to the male end :snicker: either. Just don't get ones that are enormous and you'll be good to go. Soldering is best btw...if you know how to do it.
