Removing rear 6x9's!

[SolaraGuy22]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Just wanted to let off some of my frustration, I just got done from tearing the whole half back of my car apart and sweating like hell.

For those of you who haven't done it yet be prepared for this one...

All that to remove two speakers???

Why not open the trunk and let a little air in there too! Smells kinda "gamey"!

[Mandarinsolara]

why you take so much out?
my seats and bottom half of inner molding were still in throughout my install

my first guess is you are putting in fresh wires

my first guess is you are putting in fresh wires

^^ thats what i'm presuming for new subs??

Yup, that's the sad truth for Gen1 owners who want new speakers... Except I didn't completely remove the seat; I just folded the seats down, removed the bottom cushion and placed a packing blanket in place of it to prevent it from scratching the leather (SLE).

As for the back coverboard, I just folded it over in place of the backs of the cushion. I didn't want to mess with more seat belts than I needed to since I'm the biggest safety freak on earth, considering that I ordered a new OEM steering wheel (thanks Jai) instead of say, a Momo with no airbags.

Well I am running new wires but that's not why. I was just under the impression that you had to from my previous searches on removing the rears. It only took about 30 min to do it all anyways so it wasn't a big deal. Just a pain the first time.

What's funny is I don't even have my speakers ordered, I just wanted to get this part out of the way.

What are some opinions on this setup? Will this amp be okay?

Do not going with:

In the rears....
I would go with 6.5 components...


I had the JL 5x7 components in the rear and they didn't sound that great. Right now I have the 6.5 MB quart components in the rear and they sound much better.

Like what I explained to you in my PM...

Have you heard these yet?

Or just going on there name?

I have JL audio's also, amp and sub but not interior.

I left the jbl tweeter in the door and have the radio to power it and sounds awesome.

welcome to the club..i removed my rear 6 x9's completely..

i run a single 10" sub in the rear and a set of comps up front..thats it.

i tune for sq but can get pretty silly loud if i want

i would highly recommend deadening..first front doors..next anything else..this will yeild really good results with your components midbass..rattle..etc.etc..

[SolaraGuy22]

That's exactly what I did, I bought JL XR650 CSI's for the components and nothing in the rear, I'm going to have 1 of my 10's in the trunk and use the holes as ports. I Dynamated the entire back speaker panel and my doors. I should be good to go.
