Changing the rear Speakers! Help!

[Mart]

All,

Trying to change the rear speakers in me C, but how difficult is it to get to the old ones, looking at it, I will need to take the seatbelts out to get the cover off so I can change them. If this is the only way, what size is the bolt?

Cheers

Mart :thumbs:

thought so, had a look yesterday and couldnt see anything holding the top trim apart from the seatbelt. Anyone know what size bolt that is?

removed boot rubber and pop off upper trim. remove torx screw and push trim back further. undo torx in lower panel and then the whole lot will move forward enough to get in behind. Easier to go with a custom shelf and just steal the wires tbh mate. Too much hassle for 2 very small speakers.

To be honest, its a f ucking trek. you've gotta get all the black plastic off, better just to put them in the parcel shelf or similar. and easier. just cut the wires to be rear speakers and connect.

Taken from the house rules
Step 2: Choose where to post
Carefully choose which forum to post in. The correct one is the one that most narrowly fits the specific problem. (For example, if your problem is regarding will these alloys fit my corsa, then post in the wheels, brakes & suspension section.) Don't use general chat as a catch-all because you don't know where your problem goes. Don't post wherever and declare "I didn't know where this should go, so I put it here" — take the time to find out. Do not post your question in more than one forum. Miscategorized posts may be moved, closed, or deleted without further notice.

Check the forum you plan to post in for any sticky threads: these contain common questions, or rules concerning that forum.

Step 3: Name the thread
Choose a thread title carefully. It should be a super-short summary of the question. Do not announce that you have a question — we already know that, because you wouldn't be posting otherwise. Do not mark your subject with any emphasis like "Need help!", "Please!" "Urgent!", etc. That is just noise that reduces your chances of people reading your thread.
