Speaker Change-out

[jt5047]

How do you remove the rear speakers and the subwoofer to replace them? I have recently bought a 1995 SC400 and wish to upgrade the speakers. Also how are the mids in the doors taken out? I'm new and don't know what to do! Thanks!

The rear speakers are bolted to the rear deck frame. You'll have to remove the carpet cover. In the trunk there is a false wall that comes out easily. Pull it and you have access to the rear speaker undersides. The door speakers involve pulling the door cover to do it right. But the cloth screen cover can be removed and you can access the speaker. Hard to get the screws though.

i have looked under the frame where the speakers are and i dont see the holes for the speaker covers. Does the entire tray unscrew or does the individual covers have to be removed?

The entire package tray as it is referred to. The sub woofer/third tail high lamp cover should be removed ahead of the tray. The speakers unbolt from there. Need more?

That helped my alot. Thanks a bunch. One more quick question, my amp goes out when i hit the gas driving down the road. i can tell because when the volume is maxed i can hear a touch of music from the speakers. but when the unit is off for a while the music comes back. It always goes out when the engine is revved but not in park or netral. could it be a short or maybe something in the circuit or fuse box?

Or a bad amp. You have to check.

I am going to replace my amp because it happened again, is there an aftermarket amp available to use the existing connection or do i have to buy a rebuild. how hard is it to wire a new amp and has anyone tryed it? Also are there any aftermarket radios that can use the stock changer? thanks
