Rear Deck Speakers

Installing rear deck speakers presents many of the same challenges as  

door speakers. In many cases the grilles on the rear deck can be easily  

pried up or unscrewed. Other times, they can be removed from underneath, 

via the trunk. 
In some cars, however, the entire rear deck panel must be removed to access 

the speakers. Often, this means removing the rear seat to access the deck 

panel. (Some seats are bolted in place, while others pop in and out.) With 

the seat out, you should be able to pry up the rear deck and work with the 

speaker openings in the same fashion as door or dash mounting locations.

speaker installation.

Tech Tips

•Speakers are classified as a fit if they meet the size and shape of the factory 

speaker opening.  Speaker screw holes may not line up exactly with factory 

holes.  A mounting bracket or drilling may be required  to match screw hole 

patterns. 

•Select Infinity speakers are supplied with a metal mounting bracket.  In some 

vehicles, the metal bracket must be used along with mounting brackets that 

Crutchfield supplies.

•if using a supplied speaker mounting bracket, speed clips will need to be 

used to mount the speaker to the bracket.  This is done by spreading the clips 

apart and sliding them over the screw holes on the bracket.  The clips provide 

a thread for the screws to go into.
