I bought some speakers on ebay a few days ago, and was eager to see exactly how to install them & prepare everything.
I took off the rear door panel, and began to panic when i saw a 5.25" speaker...the ones I ordered are all 6.5. After some research online I found that the cutout is bigger and theoretically i should be able to fit my speakers in there.
Now i have a problem, how in the world do I take this speaker out? i dont see any bolts!

all you gotta do is drill out the rivets.

how disappointing...i thought scion was about customization...i expected some bolts, like on every other car i've had lol.

when you get done, post a diy on how to remove the door panel. lol

You're kidding, right?

There's 1 screw behind the handle that's behind the little cup. Use a small flathead screwdriver to pop out the cup. There's another screw holding the door pull/window switch area. After that, it's just tug o war. Just pull on the panel and it will pop off. I start from the bottom and work my way up. Easy peezy 1 2 3eezy.

If you're serious...i could. There is nothing to it, a lot easier than any of the other cars I've had to deal with before.

WTF?! Rivets? Do the fronts have them too?

I've never owned a car with rivets holding the speakers in place. C'mon scion how much more would it have cost to put 4 bolts there...

Yep. Fronts have them, too...

IIRC, all Scions have speakers rivetted. I'm pretty sure it would cost labor costs down. It's a lot easier to equip and program a robot with a pop rivet gun than bolts, washers, and nuts...
