I used winISD to design the box that is in it now. Not the first box I have built did one for my mate with two cervin Vega strokers. That was a big box and slot ported. That was loud! Unfortunately he didn't sound deaden the car so it just rattled to [%*^#@!].


Mine was never built to be all out SPL. Just built to be a good daily driver with oomph. Until I can go fully active front end 4.1 set up. That's the goal as I do watch films in the car do I want the surround sound. As in a small environment like a car it sound brilliant.

Just bumping this again.

First off though as many people have been curious about this over the years and I don't think we actually have a proper guide for it....

How to access your rear speakers in a Coupe.

Actually quite easy when you know how to do it.

First off you need to remove the T20 screw in the following area. Obviously the parcel shelf has to come out first.


Then you need to remove the rubber seal for the boot, it simply pulls away it is stuck in sections with an adhesive that will still work again when you replace it. Just yank it off though to remove it.





Now you should have access to the C Pillar trim section.



A little pressure will start to pull it away to show which way it will come off. It basically folds down towards the speaker cover. It is held on by clips and by little tabs which lock into the speaker cover on the bottom.


Just yank it so it comes away from the frame work, don't worry about breaking anything in terms of clips etc. Just give it a good pull downwards. Citroen were actually good enough to use a metal clip on this part.



Now you should be left with this.


What you want to do now is grab here and basically just pull straight up.


The top cover should now come away quite easily. Just don't be too hard with this.


The reason I say not to be too hard is here. Basically the top cover is also held in place by a clip from the rear interior passenger panel. It clips through the top speaker cover.




Basically just have to pull it away, again the clip there is quite a sturdy one. It is however still plastic.


One that is done you can then just push the top cover to the side to get to the speaker.


Refit is obviously the reverse of taking it apart, just be sure to give the panels a bit of a smack once you are sure they are in the right positions to get the clips back in. Quite easy once you know how and doesn't take long either. First time would say 45 minutes to an hour to do both sides. After that 20 minutes if that. Took me less than 20 today to do it and that was refitting those speakers in the pictures with all new cabling etc.
