How to remove rear speaker panel in Evo 8?

I already got my front door speakers installed. Now Im trying to figure out how to remove the rear speaker panel above the trunk area. Not sure what screws or clips I have to remove to get to the speakers. Please help, I just got car and don't want to break anything. Thanks

Pop your trunk, hop in there and there are 3 or 4 screws that hold the cover in place on the bottom of the rear deck lid. Once you got those removed go back in the back seat, pop the cover off and remove the 3-4 screws that hold the speaker in..I believe all the screws needed to be removed are philips.

for the front speakers:

-Pop plastic cover off the sail panel where the mirror meets teh door, there is a screw in there.
-Look on the side of the door panels and there should be 2-3 screws in plain sight
-look inside the grab handle, pop the little square up and take the screw out.
-Pull up and remove the door grab
-Look where the door opener is, pop the little square out and take the screw out.
-Take the plastic trim off where the door opener is.
-(IF YOU HAVE AN RS) Remove the little metal clip behind the window crank and pull handle off. Make sure to put your hand around the handle when trying to get the clip off becuase it will rocket off and you'll never be able to find it again lol.
-Pull the door panel towards you working your way from the bottom and go around the sides towards the top
-Once all the clips are loose, pull straight up to lift the panel off the door.

You don't need to remove the screws to take out the rear grills. If you look in the trunk, you'll see expanding tabs holding the grills in place. If you squeeze the tabs with your fingers, the grills simply pop out.

This is how I did mine and worked great.
