Re: DIY: Rear Speaker Panel Removal

I really have to do all this to replace the rear speakers?

I was hoping to just pop the ugly speaker covers off.

Yep, take the Panels off, the speaker grill is held on by 6 screws behind it. Very easy to do.

Re: DIY: Rear Speaker Panel Removal

well i had meant without taking the whole panel off but i guess i cant do it that way might have to just paint it while in the car and just tape a whole lot off and let it air out for like a week lol

Bad idea. Take the panel out. Do it the right way.

Re: DIY: Rear Speaker Panel Removal

ya takes maybe 10-15 mins to get everything out to get the panels completely off.

Re: DIY: Rear Speaker Panel Removal

Think I just recently blew my right rear speaker ... came out here to determine the process for R&R. I was hoping this would be a quick job.

Good god, was I wrong... didn't realize I'd have to pull half the interior out. Lame.

Thanks for the DIY ... perhaps I'll do this someday. lol

Due to this DIY I decided not to DIM! Thank you for the details it made spending 75 on speaker installation much easier to pay. Top notch work! Thanks.

Re: DIY: Rear Speaker Panel Removal

Meh, just did mine last week and it wasn't that big of a deal. I definitely wouldn't have payed someone else to do it.

X1TheCodexx1X · Jun 23, 2013

let the adventure begin! thanks man

sleepzilla · Mar 2, 2014

thanks for the awesome pics! definitely using this when i get a chance to do some soundproofing!

dannygeimer · Jul 21, 2014

Great write-up but I was wondering what you used to fill the large opening in front of the rear speakers. I figured something with a little bit of mass would be better than just a layer or two of sound deadening mats. If you could help me out that would be great!

Regina · Jul 21, 2014

Nothing. Some foam, I guess, if you really want to fill the void... Nothing is needed though. A layer or two of dynamat will be perfectly fine.
