I've blown both of my back two stock speakers and I was wandering how do you get to them to change them out???? I popped the cover off, but that doesn't do anything that I can see.

You have to pop the whole rear side panel out to get to the speaker. There is a small plastic piece that is hiding 2 screws in the pillar closest to the door, below the window. It is right in front of you if you look straight at the bottom of the B-pillar where it meets the side panel. Then you need to find a small opening in the rug next to the rear seat on the left and right sides of the whole rear seat. Stick your screwdriver in there and you will find a 2-3 inch long screw that is holding that part of the rug covered panel down. Remove that. And finally, there is a screw that is located in the latch panel for the rear seat release. look near the top of the seat as you push the seat down, and you will see it holding the rear panel in on the side panel with the seat latch.
Good luck and I hope this wasn't too confusing!

you don't need to take those whole panels off to get to the rear speakers. Just take out those first two screws under the panels by the doors. Then you can pull the panel towards you and it will pop out far enough so that you can get your hands in there and change out the speakers. I recommend you wear long sleaves tho, cuz your arms will get scratched up.

They are hiding behind a small 4-5" vertical piece of plastic that will pop out when you pry it out with a flat-head screwdriver or similar tool. Look at the seat belt hanging from the side pillar, look behind the seat belt half way down, and it will be right in front of you.
If you need a pic, PM me, I'll get back to you!

I found the rear instructions to be difficult.
Everything is pretty much clips. There's only going to be a few screws. One by the back trunk lid, one under your seats and one in a plastic pop out by the driver and passenger seat. The seats are a pain to rip out in my opinion, so just pull. I didn't really see an easy way to do it. Your likely to break the cup holder clip, so don't be too afraid if it comes off, not a big deal, it sits okay in the long run.
