Dodge (http://www.srtforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=56801#) SRT-4 Rear Speaker Install Guide
This is a fairly simple install, but I figured pictures and a guide makes any task easier. The rear speakers are 6’’x9’’ which is great for car filling sound. The speakers I choose are Infinity Kappa 3-ways. These will make a good match for the Infinity Perfect 6.1’s which I bought for the front and are on the way.

We need to remove the rear deck to reach our stock speakers but as you can see there are no externally accessible plastic push pins or screws holding it on.

Step one - Remove the rear seat bottom. Believe it or not there are no bolts or screws holding it on at all. Instead the seats underside is equipped with two metal pins which slide into rubber grommets, as shown here. A firm upward pull at the front of both ends of the seat will pop it out of place. It can then be lifted forward, up and out of the car.

Step two - remove the rear seat back. Note the 4 bolts that require a size 55 torx bit to remove.

They are very tight as they hold on the whole rear seat back assembly, belts and all.

Take note of where the buckle and belt brackets were bolted. Youll want to put those back right where you found them

Lifting the seat back upward and then forward slides out the hooks that are holding the top of the seat in. Note in this pic by removing the seat ive disturbed the white plastic spacers that are in the notches the seat hooks into.

Better put those spacers back.

Step 3 Remove the Rear Deck - The only thing holding the rear deck on now is the plastic clips surrounding where the belts pierce the rear deck. Ease your hand under rear deck toward where the belts pass through it. Then firmly press upward and the clips will unsnap. Then just lift the deck forward and it will slide right out. The belts will still be threaded through it, but thats fine, the deck will still hang nicely out of our way.

Step 3 Unscrew, UnWire and Remove Old Speakers - Only issue here is clearance. The clearance over the furthest screw is very slim. I used thesehttp://www.srtforums.com/forums/images/smilies/frown.gifthe right one is an obvious jerry rig )

Step 4 Put in your fancy new Speakers - The heads on the stock screws wont clear the rim of the Infinity's. This was ok since the screws that come with the Infinitys have the same thread pattern, so they can be used instead.
