pull pins , push the rear seat backings so its open to the trunk. Theres a grey plastic threshold that lines up with the seats , it has trim pins that pull out easily , once its off pull up and out on the gray piece its easy. The 6x9's have 2 black things that you push in to pull the speaker out.

I found that going in the trunk and removing the screws from the bottom is the easiest way, rather than removing the seats and such.

my seat doesnt fold down in the back and there are no screws in the trunk underneath to remove the carpet so how do i remove the speakers. the previous owner put Sony 6X9's in and they blew so i need to replace them. Any help would be appreciated on exactly how to remove the seat.

Depending what year your grand am is, it might be a little different. First you have to remove two 1/2" bolts that are between the back seat and the floor carpet. Just move you hard along the front of the seat and you should feel one on each side a cut in the carpet where the bolts are.

So take off the bottom of the seat. Then I think, there should be two tork bolts, I haven't seen those yet but I heard that they're there. I'm not sure either how to get them off. I guess a tork wrench. Or I did this but it's a pain, there are three metal clips that you should see from the trunk, bend those with a wrench and your back seat will fold down about 45 degrees.

then, lastly I heard that you should remove some of the side paneling and then the deck cover should come out. But since I didn't do this way I really don't know. It's not my fault if you bust your car.

Just to check again, there should be four screws on each speaker. check to see if those are there, if they are take a wrenching and turn them the other way. it's easy.

I got the bottom part out, now just need to go get a torx head that will fit the bolt to get the back part out. thanks for the help.
