im a newbie have a ? on how to remove the rear panels so i can upgrade the speakers since i yet to have a manual hopefully they are 6 1/2 i have 92 runner thank you for the help

 

1st remove the overhead panel at the rear with the light. Flathead screw driver will work but once you get one popped fingers are able to finish removal. Unplug light connector within.
2nd you will see two or three philips screw headed screws on each side where you removed the light panel. Remove all.
3rd remove the cubby hole doors so the panels can flex on removal.
4th Each panel has like 5-10 plastic push pins and are fragile due to age and the fact they are meant to push in not pull out. Flat head will help out here to. Work from the very back edge to the front.
*Officially you can do speakers with the panels halfway removed but it is somewhat tight to do so.
If you want the panel all the way out then remove your backseat upper seatbelt mount. It consists of a plastic cover that the flat head can gently pry open and a bolt within you need to remove. Just hang that unit over the seat and continue prying the other pins. Not very hard just a PITA to do. To bad they didnt just make removable panels over the speaker area.

 

yea would be lot easier if that speaker section to come off but thanks for the help will try tomorrow if i get time

 

If you have trouble post up and I can snap pics to run you through it.

 

ok that would be great much respects bro. all i have is 2 infinity 4" in the front .. might change them out for better 1 not sure how old are they .. my truck was broken into and they took 1 6x9 which is all i had besides the front and broke my alpine stereo .. i have some 6s in my room wanted to put them on so when i go to the store i can just buy a new stereo a sub n a amp for now maybe the front since they are not pricey.

 

Ummmm ... my '93 is 5.25" in the back. 6.5"s would be nice though...I had them installed so I'm not sure what it looks like. You might need to cut a bigger opening.

 

yeah thats right I forgot about the size of the rears.

 

yea ... broke 3 damn lil holders on the right side.. to find out the size .. sux i should turn on pc n check the forums.. those panels are a bitch and half... the last time i mess with it have them install...this really sux.. always happen have to read before starting .. just getting late over here just got off work and went str8 to it

 

6.5's would sound a lot better - post a pic and let's see if you could mod the opening so they would fit! (yes, I'm a lazy bastard who doesn't want to pull my side panels)

 

i dont have any tools to make the opening wider... maybe one of my buddies but thats gonna wait till i have some extra cash ...
