Anyone able to help point me in the right direction with fitting my rear speakers.
How do I access the panel above the fuel tank (it's carpeted both sides (interior of car and interior of boot) but neither seem too keen on moving).

What I'd like to do is cut the holes so the rear of the speakers are sticking out into the boot.
Anyone else done it and care to share some tips?

Cheers

Matt

Just taken mine out. Panel at top of petrol tank in boot pulls out. You need to remove the CD autochanger if you have one. The panel is just a push fit with a bit of velcro.

Excellent - thanks - a bit of brute force and ignorance - got the panel off - just fitted drivers side speaker - will do passenger side tomorrow.

Thanks again.

In my car this runs under the passenger side carpet and then up into the passenger door piller then into boot. Jon.

Wiring runs up to the passenger door lock. there should be an unused connector flapping about which is for the rear speakers. Be VERY careful if cutting the rear panels for speakers, it is incredibly easy to cut or drill into the fuel tank
