[nanywrd]

hi friends, i have bought a 96 camry recently. i am not a car savy guy. dont know much technically. i wanted to change my rear 6-9 " speakers. but i am not able to open them. there is cover in the top rear to the back seat. how does it open?
should i just force it with screw driver head to pull hard and open? i am just worried that what if it breaks. please advice.
is there any manual available??
please help

you should seach the thread. you have to remove the rear lid or dash. (whatever you want to call it) i think. i know in my 4th gen you do, but there are threads on here that walk you through this just research first

which thread are you talking about? the speaker cover is just flat with no screws visible from the top. i think i will have to pull hard the speaker lid. when i am saying the speaker lid (its the top coper which is dotted through which the sound comes) i hope you understand.
thanks for replying anyways.
please suggest what to do?

He's right, that's what it looks like when you are getting ready to change the speakers, or in my case changing struts

go here DIY - rear seats removal & speakers

I also removed my rear speakers completely and only have front speaker components. It gets plenty loud for people to hear it in the back

Not dangerous at all, very dificult to break any parts. All you need if I recall correctly is a 10, 12 and maybe 14 mm socket and a phillips screwdriver.

The seat bottom just pops off, pull it upward and it will give. The seats you have to unbolt near the bottom. The two sides that don't move down with the seats have a bolt at the bottom then pull up and voila. The rear deck you just pull up and towards the front then there are your speakers.

What? You don't absolutely need them, and I have a subwoofer in the back and I wouldn't hear it as well with rear speakers turned up anyways.
