How to replace stock 6x9's

[chickmagnet869]

Hey I jsut got a 99 Solara and the stock 6x9's in the back are pretty good, but I have some Infinity KAPPA 6x9's that I wanna install. It's obvious which parts need to be removed and which connections need to be made, but how many pieces do you have to take off to get to the 6x9's? I counted 3 pieces on each side. How do you get these off without breaking them? I broke several plastic pieces on my old corolla just trying to get them off. ANyone ever replaced your stock 6x9's before?

there was a diagram on solaraguy for this, but i cant seem to find it.


going from memory, first you pull the rear bench out which is held in by two clips.

then you unbolt the rear seatbacks from their brackets.

remove bolts for all the rear assist grips and driver/passenger shoulder belt (i may have missed one or two here, but with the seats out they should be in plain view)

the panels should pop out with a little force.

the rear deck is removed by undoing bolts under those three anchor thingies and the rear belts, then by undoing several button-clips. voila, there are your speakers.
