Del Sol interior

[z3lda]

Does anybody know how to remove the rear speaker grills or the whole rear speaker panel? i've unclipped them all and yet they still wont come out, its like that middle piece is holdin it. does anybody know how i take it out,? do i have to remove the middle piece also?

[Mr delSol]

it should come off quite easily, I took mine out ages ago to trace some of the wire while I was fixing my electric roof.

I guess just take that middle bit out, it go back easily. I can't even remember
how many time i have taken them in and out (damn roof)

Btw, does your car squeak much?

[z3lda]

i can't take the middle out, i think there screws not clip. but dont know where the srews are. -_-

yea it does. just above the side passenger door. squeaks like hell, even over little bumps >.< but its just the targa roof movin around again the rubber seals

[ECU-MAN]

the rear center bit should just pull off, its clipped in. no screws. then you remove the lower compartment cover, but to remove that you must remove the center console. then you can unscrew the rear pannels. you should be able to just pop out the grills with out stripping your car interior. but if yo want to get behind the pannels you have a few thnigs to remove 1st..

haha my car squeeks sometimes too :P.. drivers side door... sometimes when im driving...
and when i open and close the door...

to remove the back bit, pull off that center piece... tehre are like 8 clips.. u just gotta pull it hard..

then u take off the speaker bits on the side.. 2 screws which were hidden by the center piece.. it's also held in by some clips (which are a pia to pull off, mine are pretty much gone now).

[z3lda]

yea i got it now. the clips were so tight. thanks ppl.

where do u guys put ya amps? i dont see any access holes to the boot? and the cabin doesnt have emnough roOm for 2amp =/ suggestions? idea?

thanks in advance

[ECU-MAN]

you could bolt it to the abs computer bracket in the boot, pull back the rear boot cover youll see it. you can run cables to the boot. just have a good look.

[Mr delSol]

or you can custom the back console and it sub(s) and amp in.
That's what i'm doing, will post pic when it's done.

[z3lda]

i took the boot cover off yesterday and saw the abs thing and a solid metal wall and thought, how the hell im gonna run amps and subs through that..lol drill a hold would be out of the question. i tried puttin the amp under the seat but there's no roOm anywhere. =/

yea, post pic's please. =]

[ECU-MAN]

I mounted my CD stacker on it as I didnt want to put it in the LH rear compartment. I made brakets to petrude out and bolt the cd to it. you could do the same. Ill take a photo soon

[z3lda]

where was the hole wheere u fed the cd stacker from cabin to boot?

i take it you got a del sol ecu-man? u in melb? probly can meet up and give me some tips =]

[SXYSOL]

yeah i've got a stacker in my boot as well...dunno how they wired it though cos i bought it with it already in....i've bolted my amp to the storage compartment behind the passengers seat...nearly on the floor theres just enough room...but my amp is only small...

[FANATK]

im sure you got if off alreadyto get to the rear speakers, but yeah the middle panel clips comes off with some force, then just unscrew the two side panels...

i put my two amps screwed on the wall under the rear compantments, so it is basically behind the seat on the walls... wires went under those panels, maybe remove them and you can have more access to the rear?

[z3lda]

i was thinkin about mountin my amps on the wall behind the chair, but it feels like solid metal behind the carpet. dont wanna drill holes in the chassis. how did u mount urs FANATK

[Mr delSol]

Hey z3lda, yeah i'm in Melb if you want to come by (Glen Waverley)
I got the electric roof version so not sure if it is the same as yours (the boot that is) coz mine got the hydraulic system in there.
But yeah, i had no problem running wire into the boot. You can try to look into the
boot and unclip some of the pannel to see. There has to be a way.

Hope that help

i just had a metal bracket on both ends of the of the amp, and the bracket was screwed down on the carpet part. the plastic was untouched... i didnt actually do the screwing myself but im guessing its ok to screw there...

[ECU-MAN]

yeah dude I got one. if you look where the seat belt retractor is in its plastic bag, youll find a little access hole to the boot.

[sesshoumaru]

Mr del sol... what does your car look like?

i'm frequently around the glenny area, so might have seen it before...

zelda... there is a hole on the drivers side... if u pull away the carpet in the boot u can see it.

to get to it from inside the cabin you have to remove those top panels.. and the big piece with the storage bins and stuff... apart from the obviuos screws there are two inside the storage bins... it's all relatively easy...

[sesshoumaru]

i wish i could figure out a way to mount 6x9's in the cabin =\

[FANATK]

u dont need 6x9's

just get some good speakers on the back and a pair of splits up front, that what i used to have and it was sweet :)

[sesshoumaru]

yeh.. but i've just got some 6x9's lying around... would be cool if i could make use of them... i don't wanna spend heaps on audio gear.. :wink:

[z3lda]

this really should be in audio/visual section, but its part of this thread eheh
