R33 Standard Rear Speaker Removal

[MAS_R33]

Hi Guys,

Removing my standard rear speakers on a sII R33 in getting the car ready for window tinting.

Anyone whos done this before care to give some advice or steps as not as not straight forward as i thought..

i have undone the main center bolt... but not sure what to do next, do i rip up the grill (very hard to get off)?? If i do i think im going to damage it....

Is there some concealed screw / bolt that needs to be removed from the bottom that i dont know about?

why cant there be a DIY guide on this :-)

cheers

ok this is seriously getting to me!!

surely teh grille can just be popped out without destrying it???

My 33 doesnt have rear speakers, only holes where they once were!

Are you trying to remove just the speakers, or the whole parcel shelf?

Can't the window tinting guys work around the rear speakers anyway???

[MAS_R33]

nah had to just remove the speaker covers.

the way these "stock" well i think they were stock? were they couldnt work around it.

thankfully i ended up pulling parcel shelf out and all solved!

thanks

in order to access the speakers or remove the grill - you need to unhook the back seat , firstly removing the bottom seat though.

Take rear seats out. Bottom part first - 2 bolts at front just under lip of seat.

back is another 2 bolts by seatbelt anchors. The push seat up and pull out.

Rear tray has the C pillar trim clipped into either side. just caefully bend tray to get out. Pull towards front of car without lifting as there are a few clips that clip to metal parcel tray. Speakers are bolted to mounts that are bolted/screwed to metal parcel shelf.

thanks for the replies...

yep speakers covers came out, was hoping to do it without removing parcel shelf but had to remove it.

I'm pretty sure complete parcel shelf setup was stock SII (Sanyo 30W speakers and covers that had a bolt through the middle of them?).

All good :-)

heh.. the bolts through the middle of them are for compliance usually. They have to put the child restraint bolts in, and through the speaker is where they need to be!

install some mad speakers in the rear (focals)

then put the stock parcel tray back in and glue the restraint plastic covers over the stock grills

cut the top of the bolt end off and glue it so it looks like its actually in place. :-) looks like its compliant but the po po wont no

lol FTW
