Installing rear speakers
So I decided to take the sub out of the enclosure and install that to the trunk up top.
But more importantly, my 6x9s came! Infinity Reference 9603i...they sound sweet. But here's the guide to install them
Things Needed:

Speakers
Screwdrivers
Metal drill bits
Allen wrench with 10mm socket (i think)
Wire cutters/strippers
"Butt" connectors
Twist caps
A few hours1. The goods:

2. Now, take out all of the plastic screws, just unscrew them a bit and then pull them out. There's a few more to the right that didn't come into the picture

3. Now pull the C pillar covers off on both sides. First, pull out the stripping from the side of the door (the red), and then just yoink the pillar off (green). There are plastic tabs that are pulled out, so dont be scared if theres some loud popping noises. file:///I:/2003-06%20Corolla%20Stereo%20DIY/2006%20Corolla%20Installing%20Rear%20Speaker.files/IMG_1698.jpg

4. Now in the trunk, there are 3 plastic tabs, like in the picture, and theres one more to the left that didn't come in. Just push these up, and hten pull out the top cover.

5. Now using a 10mm allen wrench, take out the bolts for the speakers, and then take the speakers out. , and put the new ones in. The holes probably won't match up, so measure the location of the new holes, and drill them in. They're maybe a half-inch closer to the edge of the hole than the ones that are there now
6. Once you do that, drill the holes in, and then place the speakers and then screw them in secure.

7. Now hop on under, and time to do the wiring :)
It looks a little confusing, but basically, the signal red goes to the speakers red, and black to black.
I had to wire an extension in, and then also another wire to the sub, thus the twist connection.

I drilled another 4 holes and attached the sub under that tiny rectangular hole, and wired it all together.
9. Obviously, just put everything back in together the reverse you took it apart. Now would be a good time to put Dynamat or whatever you want to use if you get rattles (I used a old thin blanket). And you're done :)

Thanks, Randy adsaba1969 08-02-2007, 08:24 PM 1st remove the rear pillars (they just pop off); then fold down your rear seats and unscrew and remove the clips so you can pop off the back panel. Remove the back panel and proceed as normal w/ speaker replacement. LordBaal 03-05-2008, 11:25 AM I, i have 4 speaker infinity, not the same then you but its not the point. I want to remove the rear panel and i dont know how. So, did you success installation?? If yes, can you explain me how please :)
