Headrest speaker removal

[Iyse]

I wanna get rid of the blummin' midbasses that are behind the headrests of my W202, but they seem to be stuck down with some sort of platic glue thing. How do I get to them so I can take em out and allow my sub to breathe?

(I figured this was an interior job rather than electronics.)

Theyre just clipped in, but are very tight.

I went through the pain threshold with this over the weekend, now i don;t know if the facelift C has smaller speaker grilles and apertures on the back shelf or what, but it necessitated removing the carpeted shelf to get the speakers out

This required removal of the back seat squab and backrest, the foldy headrests, the C-pillar linings (utter b**ta*d), three evil panel pins, and then the shelf. The speakers unclipped by squeezing the tabs through the slots from the underside in the boot.

I bought some adaptors from autoleads to fit 6,5" speakers. The tabs on these needed fettling with a stanley knife to pass through the slots on the bodywork.

hmm, ten minute job took 2 hours, but well worth it for the improvement. Got a whole lot more to do to get my two amps wired up, and a set of components in the front doors/dash...

Any chance you can provide a few pictures to explain the whole process. I don't expect you to disassemble everything again, just some visual aids would help to understand your words. Thanks.
