I have new rear speakers being delivered today for my 1996 GS-R, and I'm trying to remove the old ones. But one screw is pretty much covered up by the rear quarter panel. Am I missing some trick here? I'm thinking about just filing down the plastic since it will be covered up by the grate anyway... let me show you what I mean.

I found this picture on another forum, and figured it would take me five seconds to do:






But this is what mine looks like, the one screw "#2" is tucked back just a bit too far...





Your thoughts? I really just want to file it down a quarter inch because that's all I need...

 

you need to take off the whole pannel if u wanna get the speaker out. its very easy and takes 1min.

 

Do I have to take the seats out too, then?

 

You do not need to remove the whole panel.

It can be a bit of a pain but it will come out the grill hole, yours, [speaker plate] does look like it is sitting forwards a bit, so if you have to "notch' the spot where the screw is, as you say the grill will cover the notch.

I have installed more then a few rear speakers in G3s and have never had to remove the panel, unless I was installing bigger speakers, [mid-bass drivers] and that's only because I replace the plastic housing/plate with a bigger, [more mass] MDF speaker panel. 94

 

Cool thanks I'll give that a try.

 

Removing the panel will take more then 1 min, take my word for it, I have done it more then a few times, just on my own 94 Integra, and on a lot of others, but never just to remove the rear speakers. 94

 

well to take out the back seats and pannel shouldnt take more than 3 min. lol

 

I see a rear hatch panel, the seat bottom and the two seat backs, the rear seat strikers, the two rocker panels, [sill] covers, along with the hardware, [clips/bolts/retainers] that mounts them.

Along with a pic of your starter ground, I want to see a 3min. video of you removing the above, without damaging anything, or it did not happen. 94

 

You're a tool if you cant tare down the whole back of ur car 3 min lmao.

 

So the pic and vid will be up soon?94

 

Ya taking out that back panel thing would suck. Poor design if you ask me. For the rear speakers, I had a friend force back the plastic with a big screw driver as I took out the screw. Was scared it would break but it didn't and looks and sounds great now!

 

why do u keep writing 94 after everything u say.

are u OCD

 

Still waiting for pic of your starter ground lead and a vid of you pulling the side panels out of a G3 or are you just full bullshit?

As for the 94, search it has been asked by smarter people then you. 94
