assume ur talking about the rear speakers?

if you want to do it properly without breaking anything then it goes from memory

1. take out rear seats

- take the part where u sit ur ass on out first (2 bolts and clips)

- take out the other part (2 bolts and clips)

2. take off door cards, all clips, just pull em out gently/firmly

3. take off the handles above your head which you hang onto when cornerring (2 screws under the small cover things on either side

4. this now gives u access to the rear parcel shelf, cant remmeber there maybe a couple screws from underneath. should slide right out.

If u dont take the plastic pillars out theres a small slit in the parcel sheve that it sits in and u risk snaping the pillars if u dont take them out.

should be pretty straight forward froom here

:P

i had a crack at mine with the exact same method as above but found out my child restraint is welded in a way that stops me from removing the whole parcel shelf. i was thinking of grinding it off but might need it for not getting defected. its soo annoying. arrrh.

yeah it doesnt take that long if you know what your doing.

I have had trouble removing the rear seats, the clip is jammed on the part you sit on...is there a special way of undoing it? Thought i might ask before getting out the crowbar.

Use muscles... its clipped in good...

I only remove the rear seats when getting my speakers out.. stuff removing that other crap... never needed to and never broken anything

Did my rear speakers removed back seat as described above. A screwdriver or some other lever helps with the lower part of the seat, just lever next/through the clips. I didn't remove my pillar trims etc, was just bloody carefull when i removed the parcel shelf.

Took 10mins max.

P.S. Standard speakers were 6" round speakers, 6x9s might be a problem the parcel shelf is not flat you may need to mod your spacers.

Good luck.

sweet i got the back seats out,

it scared the shit out of me when it came loose!

i have those child restraint things too i hope i can still get them out

if all fails then il just take it to garys car radio, cbf

    • I drive the Tiguan much harder than the Skyline in all conditions, because it just grips and hooks, unlike the R33 shit box
    • The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.
    • When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.
    • Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.
    • This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.
