There isn't an easy way... do a search for a rear speaker install for isntructions. You essentially have to strip the rear of the car. Not technically difficult, but time consuming. Just make sure you give yourself plenty of workspace to put all the parts.

No easy way out of this one! Do be careful when refitting the panels, which I found tricky. If not properly installed, you'll end up getting the unwanted rattles.

I found that when my car was repaired after a major accident (18 hours after I picked her up, lovely, no?), that the body shop did not replace all of the "poppers" that attached the interior panels to the body. To this day I still have some unwanted noise. This spring I plan on buying a bag of poppers and going back to work. Going to install Dynamat while I'm at it. I hate rattles...
