Hey guys wanna say thank you a ton for the door panel removal, I got the speakers installed in the doors now for the back. I'm looking at this and I'm thinking good god do I have to take the whole cab apart. So what am I going to be into with this? I have to battle only having 3:10-4:45 of sunlight and no garage. Git'r done

 

It's not hard at all to do rear speakers. My own truck is sitting out in the garage right now with both front door panels and one rear side panel removed, waiting on my new Kicker speakers to get here on UPS. I ordered them from Crutchfield on Tuesday night.

To install the rear speakers:

Open the rear side window
Starting at one of the upper corners, pull out on the plastic panel above the rear seat and remove the panel/back seat cushion. The panel does have the plastic Christmas Tree style fastener pins on it.

Pop off the plastic covers off of both upper seat belt bolts.
Use a Torx T-50 socket and remove both seat belt anchor bolts.
Starting from the upper corner closest to the back windshield, pull the upper half of the rear side panel loose from the truck.
Remove the 2 screws from the back side of the cab edge of the lower trim panel, These are exposed when you remove that long trim piece on the back wall that has the back seat upper cushion on it.
Then just snap the lower trim panel out and either let it rest on the back seat or work the seat belts out of it and let it rest on the ground outside the cab. If you do that, put down some cardboard or something so it doesn't get scratched up or scuffed.
Then you have access to the rear speakers.

It seems like a pain but it really is not too bad.

Just dont use plastic baffles back there; use wood (Self made) or metal.. the plastic ones are cheap.. and will break.
