speaker removal

[ryhi]

how do i remove the rear speakers on the rear deck where the headrests are?

[CKlasse]

n/m.. i misread your question!

You need to take out the rear deck before taking out the speakers.
Taking out the rear deck need:
1. Take out the back seat
2. Take out the C Pillar
3. Take out the rear head rest
4. Take out the rear deck
5. Take out the speakers

is there anyway to remove the rear speakers from the deck with out taking it all apart? It seems pretty tough to take it all out
. Is it easy to replace the rears with 5 1/4" seperates? do I need an adapter? thanks.

[pnsji]

I did try that and was not successfull.
The rear deck speakers can be fitted up to 6.5" with a special adapters.

can I fit 6.5" speakers in the rear doors? Do I take the bose bucket out and replace with adapters/rings?

The link you gave for the adaptors in another post isn't working. Do you know of another link?
Also, I am about to install my system--the only thing I have a question about is the seperates that I bought for the front......
They are Polk/Momo MM6's 6.75" / has anyone seen 6.75" mids installed in the front doors? Any advice other than use 6.5's. As I have these already. Also with rear deck speakers will the bass still enter the cabin or should I try to port the rear deck through the first aid kit location? Any insight appreciated.

polk mmc650 rear deck
A/D/S/ 280cmx power plate for the seperates
A/D/S/ m460 power plate for the rear doors, and deck
A/D/S/ P2110.2 power plate for the sub(s)
1.2 farad Hugfen cap
Have not bought the sub(s) yet--any advice?

Actually, you can easily make an adapter to fit the speaker for the rear deck. Just use 1/4" MDF and create the adapter.

For the front, I use 6.5" and I have to do modification on my door. 6.725" for the front door, that could be challenging. How tall are the midbass driver? Make sure you have enough clearance for your windows when you roll it down.

If you want a very strong midbass/bass, you can always install focal 5 3/8" subwoofer driver. They will produce a very nice/deep bass for the front.

Porting bass from the trunk to the cabin can be easily done by taking out the rear deck speakers. Currently I do not use any rear deck speakers because I want to have a pure front staging system.

From everything that I have read here, and elsewhere--The 5.25's in the rear doors should be no problem (right or wrong?)??
Elsewhere in this forum there is a mention of using Metra Toyota T-100 speaker adaptors. Will I need these or some other type of adaptor? "Using Metra kit for Toyota T100 , otherwise, like pnsji said, 4”…"
Do you know if I will need part # sak-2001 for my front door speakers?--is this a MB factory part. I have the Bose crap in my car now. I'm sure that I'll have more questions soon. Thanks for the help pnsji.You seem to be the man with the answers.

I'm stuck @ step 3--How do I remove the rear head rests? I used this link

But I'm still in the dark...............help

Jeez, what a bitch.
Just finished getting those rear head rests out. That job is no joke. Things did go much easier once I pulled the bezels out that surround the head rest posts. Those that have done it know what I am talking about. Maybe someone else could better explain what I am speaking of, for anyone who might pull thier head rests in the future. On to the rear door speakers next. Oh, yeah I would still like to get a pair of rear speaker adaptors. I have had no luck with the link That Denlasoul gave me a few days ago--Emailed but no reply--http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/default.php?cPath=292_306_487
If anyone can help, please do.

i just checked that link and it works. but is that company legit? its in the UK so shipping might be expensive...

[JAY4]

The link works, but there is no way to order from them and have the stuff shipped to the US--as far as I can tell. Still no reply to the email thhat I sent them last week......

does anyone know the specs on the rear deck 5.25" speakers? i want to replace my blown speakers but i dont think i can just slap on any pair of speakers without a new amp. i checked the Bose site but theres nothing there.

[joboo]

I had my rear deck speakers replaced with focal 6.5". Did not need to remove the headrests in my 95 c36. Just pull out the old ones and swap in the new ones fine.
