how to change rear speakers?

Ok, so i fabricated and installed some new mounting brackets in my doors to house my front 6.5" speakers, and now im ready to move onto the rear, but not sure how to "get to the factory speakers".

The front was easy enough to pull apart, but how about the rears? Do you just pull off the speaker grill, or do i need to pull the back panels off to do the install?

Anyone have any instructions on how to get at the back? pictures would be nice :-)

Getting at the rears

Here's a link to info that assisted me; it wasn't very difficult.

There's pics in my gallery (click the hyperlink in my sig) if you want to see what you're getting into before you tear out the back. It's not hard, just time consuming if you're trying not to break anything.

it's quite a bit of work to get to the rear speakers, huh?

I did it too when I installed my BassLink

OMG, is this the only way to get to them?? Why they have the covers over the speakers then?? I had hoped to change then soon, but this looks as it will take me some time, cuz im new to the car.. And i DON`T want to harm my leather seats..
