I have just bought some nice 6x9 Speakers from Kickers and I got a mate to help me put them in but we are having trouble getting the old speakers out! Is there a tutorial or something about removing FTO speakers? Aparently the front ones are too small so i have to fit them in the back whereas the manual teaches you to put them in the front.
One of the bolts wont come out under the left speaker when im trying to spanner it from the boot, and im finding it hard to get that mesh off the top of the speakers. Im considering taking the speakers that i bought back as i havent even touched them yet, or is it worth keeping them and paying a professional $60 or so to do it for me? Your help will be much appreciated.

Re: Sound System Help Please!
Thanks for the help guys, was so much easier with those seats taken out. Im not even sure if its possible without taking them out haha seems ridiculous! Anyway got the 6x9's in now i guess i just need a sub and amp but im pretty happy with just these bad boys in there because it sounds good enough for me.
If anyone also needs help putting rear speakers in, I used this website to help guide me http://www.mitsubishi-fto.org/pdf/rear_speakers.pdf but also a lot of help from my Dad haha.

You do know that you could have mounted them from under the tray ie. The boot side
