**PNIGZ** · 01-23-2010

how do i get at the back speakers in my 2000 grand prix do the plastic covers pop off or does the hole back deck have to come out and how would i do it

They come out threw the bottom if i remember correctly.

first step is to take the whole back seats out. there's 2 tabs for the bottom seat and like 4 bolts for the vertical part. then the back panel should pop up. There might be a couple screws or something for that. I dont remember. But anyways the main part is to get the seats out first and you should be able to tell what to do from there.

Quick process as follows on Grand Prix's: remove seat portion first by pulling 2 release handles under each side of front side of seat. Then remove back of seat by unbolting 4 bolts at bottom of back, then lift back of seat up and out (there are about 6 hooks pointing down that hook it to the body. Then remove the 2 side trim pieces (trim/pop rivets). Then remove the rear window deck and the speakers can then be seen and removed

found this on a website. hope this helps

I had to take everything apart in the rear of my car too because I had to replace a seatbelt since somebody decided to cut it in half.. It wasn't that bad. The only hard part is trying to get the back seats to line up with where they lifted from.

yeah i found out how to do it the hard way it took me like 2 hours to replace the rear speakers

1. find pull tabs under rear seat. one on each side pull them and remove cushon part.
2. unbolt all seat belts and bolts that hold the back rest in place and once you get those off push up and pull back.
3. There are plastic retainers that hold the back deck on. either you can figure out how to remove them or just rip the back deck off of them. I ripped mine off and it doesnt cause a problem because when you bolt the seat back on it holds the deck in place. remove the deck.
4. take out the 4 factory screws that hold the old speakers in and remove stock speakers.
5. cut the clips off the wires from the stock speakers and strip wires.
6. twist positive/negative wires around the metal connectors on the speakers and electrical tape them to the metal posts on the speakers where the wires are.
7. using the factory screws, screw the new 6x9s back into place. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN (you could snap a screw head off and your speakers will sound awful like i did) but make sure they are firmly secured into place.
8. Test your speakers to see if they work.
9. If they work, its time to put everything back together, start by putting the rear deck back on, making sure the 3rd brake light in the rear window is not covered and the deck is on the right place like it should be.
10. take the back rest of the rear seat and line up those pegs in the back with the holes in the back, and push down and back.
11. screw back on all the seat belts and the bolts that hold the back rest on
12. tuck the bottem cushon part under the back rest and pull the seatbelts thru the holes where they go and the buckles, then snap the bottem cushon back in and your done. It sounds alot scarier than it really is. Not hard if you have the right tools and good luck =)
