Awrighty then, I've searched, and the only info I can find on pulling the rear speakers is that I need to remove the rear hatch interior, disassemble half my intake, drop the exhaust, and take the front door of my house off of it's hinges, all while standing on my head and whistling the Czechoslovakian national anthem backwards.
after much headscratching, removing of some bits and bobs, and staring at the hatch, I haven't figured out the most logical way to remove the everything so I can get at the bedarned speakers.
Also, searching through the forums for this stuff, it seems the scuttlebutt is that I've got 6 speakers kicking around in my '89. I'm not sure if this is correct or not, but we'll see. I've just bought two sets of four inchers to drop in in place of the stockers, and I'm wondering which holes I should put 'em in, if indeed I have four speakers in the back -- the shoulder or the upward-firing place thinger in the hatch. I'll probably remove all four stockers from the back, and just replace 'em with the one pair of four inchers I bought for the rear, until I break down and buy components for the front, and fabricate mounts for 'em -- then I'll probably fill the blank holes (whichever set was left out) in the back with the 4" speakers from the front doors, for giggles.
Anyhoo, I'm no car stereo purist, and I'm replacing the stockers because 1) most aftermarket stuff tends to be better'n stock, and 2) my stockers are all rotted out, disgusting, and sound like crap. I bought me two sets of Kicker KS40s, 'cause that's what my local shop happened to have in stock, and they seem to have decent specs. Any "you should've bought X" comments will fall on deaf ears, since they'll sound better'n stock, and that's what I care about *grins*
Well that's about it! thanks in advance for the advice!
