Tibby01 could elaborate more I'm sure but... Take out the back seat, remove the rear speaker grills and take off the black plastic pieces in the back that covers the strut towers and you should see all the screws needed to remove that panel and from there it's just a little prying. I think the upper seatbelt loop needs to come off too if I remember right.

I had them off before. It's some screws and some pops that have to come off. You have to take out the back seats. From there it's easy. I don't remember If I took off the seat belts. It wasn't hard. It took about an hour or so.
I was installing a high level-> low level converter. I didn't realize you could just pass the wire through to the trunk easier then taking off the panels.

It's not too hard, just looks for bolts or screws in the area holding the panel on and remove them until it comes off. I just took mine off last night. I'm doing a DIY on how to remove it all and put down sound deadening, but it might be a few weeks before I post it...

that's the only thing i didn't take off on mine for now, but you have to take off the seatbelt covers by unclipping them. they should just pop right off without a scratch if you do it with a flathead screwdriver or razor. next, the rear seats need to come out. to get the speaker panels out you need to get the top roof piece off, then the two above the rear windows, then the speaker panels.
it should just unclip but i didn't try because i was unsure how the speakers are mounted on and didn't want to rip any wires.

theres 2 screws behind the speaker grill. then one under where the seats would have been. then a 14mm bolt under the cap at the top where the seat belt loop thing is. then all clips i believe. oh, and i think theres some type of hook under the things where the hatch cover slides.
OK, thats about the best I can do off the top of my head. Ive had the car torn apart to bare metal and those pieces out quite a few times. its not to bad. you should just need a screwdriver, 14mm socket and a 12mm socket for the seats i think.
speaker wiring goes behind them and behind the metal so no worries about that
