I bought new 6" - 9" speakers for my Camry, and i have no idea how to remove the old speakers and put in the new ones without screwing stuff up. Also any ideas on cutting down rattling from my subwoofer?


Thanks,

Sexton

Well i havent done that on my camry yet, but have done on my previous ford, just pop off the wire grill over the top of the speakers and remove the screws, and put in the new speakers. Let me know if that works, it worked on my previous Acura and Ford.

On my 92 CamryXLE (Should be same procedure for 97), I had to follow a much more complicated procedure. I will list the steps involved as best a possible:

* Remove lower seat cushion for back seat. It should just pop out.
* Unscrew hinges for the two upper portions of the back seat and remove those cushions as well.
* You should now have access to the screws holding the skinny cushions that are right next to each rear door. Remove those cushions.
* You will now be able to remove the "fuzzy" panels that cover up the bare metal of the car behind the rear seats and around the rear speakers.
* You should now have access to the screws that hold the speakers in.

Note that you definately do not want to pry the rear grills off to get at teh speakers if your car is similar to mine. I did this before learning the correct method for rear speaker removal and not only was I unable to remove the speaker after removing the grill, but am also now having an annoying rattle from the damaged grill while driving the car.

Goto AutoZone.com they have instruction to remove the rear speaker. Good luck.
