E34 Rear Parcel Speakers

[Dvious]

Hey looking to get some new speakers for the rear parcel shelf, but im not sure what size they are, any idea as to what size??

Im looking at replacing the two square looking speakers on each corner, im assuming i have to take out the rear shelf to install them?

Thanks.

The fronts are 5.25 inches so I presume the rears are the same - they're easy to remove so you might as well double check the size. No need to remove the rear shelf, simply remove the square grills that cover them (you can prize the grills up with a screwdriver) and then unscrew the mounting screws.

yeah, rear size is 5.25"

The left side one is a pain in the ass to get to as the screw is just under the lip. You'll find a tweeter and midbass there.

depending what was installed -in Aust. if you have the base model audio you will only have 5.25 fullrange speaker and yes they are very difficult to get out but i did mine without removing parcel shelf- i got and old screwdriver and bent a rightangle on the end to get the difficult screws out

I don't think I had that problem, the speakers are in those black plastic "cups", but I had to remove the parcel shelf - well what I remember anyway.but these where easy to remove and no difficult screws to remove - just some thoughts Kev.

Thanks for the help guys, its just i ask this because i while ago i saw someone changing the parcel shelf speakers and they had removed the whole parcel shelf, and i remember seeing those black cone shaped objects. Were the rear pillar is, is where i heard its hard to remove the screws.

Thanks again!
