Fitting Updrated Rear Speakers - Corsa B Fitting 5.25" speakers

Tools Required:


  • T25 Torx Screwdriver
  • 13mm Socket
  • Rachet
  • Pilers
  • Wire strippers/Crimps
  • Flat head Screwdriver
  • Phillips Screwdriver


First start by removing parcel shelf and move rear bench forward.

Will start on the passenger side, purely because its the most difficult of the two:



Prise the boot light out from the trim then unplug:


Then remove the cover which gains access to the rear light, and the top mount cover as this hides a torx screw.
Now to remove the pannel to gain access to the speaker, there are 6 x T25 torx screws to remove and 3 plastic plugs towards the rear light.

Now this step depends on if you have a rear strut brace in place, if not you can ignore this step, From inside the rear top mount cover you will see a 13mm nut:



Once undone you will then be able to remove the fixing for the rear seat:



Now all thats left to do is gently pull the trim pannel away from the car:



Now with the speaker accessible you can move onto the next step:



The speaker itself is held in with 3 phillips screws, unplug speaker and remove screws and you should be left with this:



Simply slide the speaker out of the bracket and replace with your new uprated speaker:





To wire the speaker: cut off the OE plug, strip the wire and attach the required spade terminals. Finally attach wires to speaker.

Green = Positive
Green/Brown = Negative

Now re-fitting is as they say in the haynes manual... its the reverse of the removal procedure :thumbs: (Be sure to feed the wire though for the boot light before replacing screws)

With that done... you should have it all back to normal minus the OE speaker:



Onto the Drivers side speaker:



Again start by removing the light access pannel and top mount cover.

This time there is only 4 x T25 torx screws and again the 3 plastic plugs towards the rear light.

I also removed the rear bench mounting again by un doing the 13mm (not required if you do not have a rear strut brace)

Once undone the pannel is then ready to be removed:



The speaker bracket this side is also held in with 3 phillips screws.

Slide old speaker out and new speaker in, then re-attach using the 3 screws.

Re-wire as before by removing OE plug and add spade terminals.

White = Positive
White/Brown = negative

As before re-fitting is a reversal of the removal procedure which should leave you like this:



And that is a Job well done :thumbs:
