adz89 Posted March 28, 2007 Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 I just bought some new speakers to go in the back (both 2 ohm speakers). So I wanted to know how I correctly remove the back shelf? Do I open the console bin and remove the caps on screws and remove them remove screws underneath that? Or is there screws under the child anchorages that I remove? Thanks in advance guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ing-schu@online.no Posted March 28, 2007 Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 No, the back seat has to come out first. The base is secured with two brackets in front, lift it gently and they can be seen, imagine just between your legs if sitting two persons. Just push a plastic lever and it pops up. Then lift it out, and remove two 12 mm (if I remember correct) bolts , one each bottom side of the seatback. Lift the seatback upwards, quite a lot of force is needed to release the three clamps behind the top of the seatback. Then pop out the brakelight, frontend up-and backwards with a screwdriver. The shelf is then ready to be popped out, secured with clamps only. Be sure not to force it out and you should be fine. There are two plastic tabs needing to fit into each their hole when remounting. Depending on year there is a compartment with lid in the middle, I guess that is secured separately. My cheapened 00 shelf is onepiece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankzao Posted March 28, 2007 Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 ON my 97 Milly base model, I had to remove the 2 side covers (the one's with the map light for the back seat that go from the back seat to the headliner). It was too tight of a fit for me to try it without removing them first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adz89 Posted March 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 Ok. the storage 'bin' in mine between the two speakers is a seperate peice. Mine is a '94 model btw. So am I best off removing the center bin and seeing if that leads me anywhere. If it doesn't next step is remove the seats I spose (but I wanted to avoid that if I don't have to).... if I have to I will though (it's just a hassle, that's all!). BTW... finally, the speakers I bought are JBL GTO937's, which are 2 ohm speakers. Is there any issues running the speakers off of stock equipment if they are 2 ohm ? Thanks heaps guys!

///BHRpowered Posted March 28, 2007 Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 You shouldn't run into any issues for daily use, however I'm still pretty sure on all years except maybe 01-02 the rear seats had to come out, atleast hte top part Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adz89 Posted March 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 Thanks for the quick reply. What do you mean 'for daily use'? Is there any problems that may occur running off the stock amp in the future? Or do you mean if the amp shits itself? Ok, so once I remove the top part of the seat (don't I have to remove the bottom part of the seat to remove the top part?) and the center brakelight (if it has to come out) do I pull the shelf towards me, or try and pull it up, or push it away from me & lift it at the same time (like is there any method?). Sorry for all the questions; I just don't want anything to get damaged or broken during the installation process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiTown Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 for the 3rd brake on pre 97 models it should come off if you pull it towards you, models after 97 you have to pop it upwards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ing-schu@online.no Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 I'd really like to watch BHR removing the seatback without removing the seatbase first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adz89 Posted March 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 Ok... the new speakers are in! :) I removed the centere bin, removed the four screws that were underneath the edges of the storage bin. Then the clips underneath that you twist until they come out (well I did it that way and it worked). Then simply take the top off. However only issue is the amp which ajoins to the bottom of the speaker (which is bolted to to the BOSE speaker) is basically just tightly shoved onto the bottom of the JBL speakers. So I considering the removal of those tiny amps and mounting them to the underside of the shelf where the bottom of the speakers hang. If not maybe perhaps some strong masking tape will do the job, but I don't want my speakers looking like crap. I must say though, considering they are still running off of the stock amps, they sounds sooooooo much better. The treble (highs and mids) sound fantastic and the bass is also clearer (not really louder, probably due to the amps). And now that the front speakers are BOSE and the rear are JBL, I have to say that it sounds unbalanced, the music coming from the back sounds alot clear then that coming from the front. So I have the fader set to R2 or R3 depending on the type of music. So eventeually I may replace the front ones with JBL speakers (but what size are the ones in the door, they can fit 5x7's cant they?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
