hey its pretty easy if you follow that guide. I have my rears speakers out this weekend...takes all of 10min...Thing to note that I think the guide does not...is that if there are screws in the back half of the speaker you will need a small screwdriver to get them out/in. I have a socket type screwdriver that is at right angles so it makes those jobs easy..you can buy one of this screwdriver kits for like $10.

I'm confused..which metal round things??? There are only 2-4 screws holding the parcel shelf in (infact 2 is sufficient...these are located at the front...?

Metal round things would be the child restraint anchors....

Gotta love the way they decide to just jam them into the speaker slots.

Hey guys,

Thanks for the replies haven't checked this for a while.. Still in pieces will have to try and find one of them socket sets... Where do you get them? A hardware store or something?? I do have screws in the back and have been battling with them since I posted this topic... My stock ones sound awful and i just want my new ones in.. (damn it)!! Yea I noticed that mitsi just kind shoved them and and screwed straight through the parcel shelf...

You'll be able to get a cheapo socket set from any Auto bits shop like Autobarn or Auto One etc...

I say cheap - cause your top of the line Snap-on ones can cost an absolute bomb!

Those child restraint anchors are put in by compliance shops when the cars are imported here. It is illegal to remove them...

Despite the fact that most of us remove them anyway

Haha I threw mine out cause they gave me the ****s when I was trying to do mine. They are now located along the Bruce Highway near a 110km/h sign hehehe.
Also how the hell are you supposed to get a child seat in the back anyway? by the time you struggle to get it in you could already be where you were going....

So if i dont put them 2 metal round things back in it shouldn't vibrate should it???

Because right now my shelf and everything is back in except the back seat so i need to know quick so i can put the seat back in..

Yeah but the thing i dont get is why they put 2 baby seat holders in you only need 1 for it to be legal in australia!!!

Actually GoldFTO you're supposed to have a restraint mounting point for each rear seat...

OOO ok i never new that but that doesnt help my problem..LOL

should i put them 2 metal things back in or leave them out...all i need to know is if i leave them out will it vibrate???

robsta · Post by **robsta** » Mon Jan 09, 2006 2:39 pm

mine seems to vibrate a bit more then before i replaced the stock speakers. but that could be because i have 2 12s in the boot now aswell.

GoldFTO · Post by **GoldFTO** » Mon Jan 09, 2006 2:56 pm

yeah well i think i may pull my parcel shelve out tommorow and put them metal things back in because next week i will have my 2 12inch kenwood woofers in there so i think i better just put them metal things back in so i know it has less chance to rattle!!!

because i have like 2 800watt subs going in ran by a 1000watt amp..

and my 350 watt 6x9 are ran by a 300watt amp..

so i think i better put them metals things in for more support..thanks guys
