3 10mm bolts under the factory pod in the trunk.
taker that out.
then flip it over remove the 3 screws to expose the cover
then remove the speaker.
tada!What makes me laugh about forums, is that no matter how much you try to help someone, they dont take the advice. Go ahead and do it the hard way.
You got to respect what you drive, and appreciate what you have, making the best of what you got. and if that means putting CAI, HID's, a phat stereo system, and a idiot in the drivers seat...then so be it!

^^ as above for getting pods out.
If you want the deck out for something custom.
Remove both rear side pillar trims, fold the rear seat down, remove cushions on sides of rear seat, remove plastic trim around rear seat latch.
Then it's all clipped down. If the window has ever been replaced you will find that the sealer may have leaked through and the deck will be stuck to it. Theres not enough room to get in there and cut away at the sealant so, I found that the only way to get it no matter how much i tried, was to just rip it out . . .

If at first you don't succeed, Try again. Don't give up too easily, persistance pays off in the end.

The rear deck is a pain to get out. I removed mine when I had my windows tinted and also wanted to get rid of the third brake light (didnt work with the spoiler so seemed pointless) It takes a good bit of work and time to get all of the little expanding clips out without breaking them. If your gonna do it evil_demon_01 gave you a pretty good idea of what is involved.

clips breaking doesnt so much have to do with age but the enviroment the car was in through its life. for instance my car, every clip is still damn near perfect. if the car was left in the sun a lot the clips integrity will be degraded.
i can usually look at a panel and tell if its going to break before i take it apart. if its really stiff most likely your going to have to be extra careful. if the panel has a good amount of flex to it your made.
just remember, when you take apart your car, the panels are all made to be removable, so take your time and BE PATIENT. going fast is for the experienced.

you havent lived until you have to repair an a/c line in a 03 ferrari 360 spyder owned by richie sambora that you coworker/manager popped a hole in. then have to disassemble the entire front end of the ferrari without messing anything at all up... whew that is no easy task!
It was so freaking fun to take apart a ferrari though.
if anyone could find pics of that car i would greatly appreciate it because i got canned from that shop before the box got back from paint
