I can't remember exactly how I did it, but I think I had to go through underneath the carpet and remove the speakers that way. I don't think the covers come off.

 

Thanks.

This is an issue though with fitting the new speakers as they are 6 x 9. They must come out in some way ! I had the headling done and they must have come out for that !!

 

The covers dont come off. Pull back the carpet and i think there are like 6 ten mm bolts that hold on the speakers. The speakers will come out the bottom.

 

On the small tweaters I can see screw heads from the top looking down ! I had my headlining replaced and it was removed to do that ! The screw heads are from the top as I look down wards but I will try again. Thanks.

 

Yes, the woofer and tweeter screw/bolt in from the top, but the plate which they are attached to comes out from the bottom. Just remove the three inboard nuts, and only loosen the three outboard nutss, on each plate. I don't know if you have the new or old body style, since you're in Australia. But on both my older body style 9000s, the grill is also removable. It's a very tight fit, so you have to use some muscle (and a screwdriver) to get them out, but they do come out. However, there's really no reason to do so unless you are repainting them. It's far easier to remove the whole plate if you are changing speakers.

 

Done !

Yes your right ! Six 10mm bolts, my advise is to the do the bolt neares to the panel in the furthest corner first ! Using an extended ring spanner ! A lot of hassle but soooooooooooo worth it with improved sound ! What a lot of mucking around to get the speakers out. Pry the carpet out, take off the boot scuff protector, undo the anchor points then take off the base to expose the speakers ! Cleaned the plate up as well !. Still Cant beat that Clarion sound though !!! Puts the doosh doosh into the old girl again !!!

Many thanks
