Rear Speaker Installation (96-00 Civic Coupe)
 

Thanks to Solid_Snake for this DIY!

Do this on your own risk, this process is a little time consuming, IIRC all the bolts are 10mm


tools-

rachet, several extensions, 10mm socket, phillips screwdriver, flathead screwdriver (not in pic)

2. Loosen the bolt with the 10mm socket, i recommend using several extensions so you have more space to move the rachet around

3. After removing the bolt, raise the seat cushion as shown, don't forget the seat belt buckles

then at the bottom of the cushion you'll see hooks at the left and right of the cushion:

4. now that you have removed the cushion, you'll see a pocket in the side panels:

inside each pocket there is a phillips screw, unscrew that.

5. fold the rear seat backs

6. Remove the bolts holding the seatbacks to the bracket

well you can't remove completely the seatbacks, but by doing the previous step will make the seatbacks mive easily, so you can access the pivot

7. remove the pivot bracket bolt (IIRC it is a 14mm bolt)
the pivot bolt construction: pivot bolt-->washer-->bushing-->toothed lock washer (this is for the driver's side bolt, the passenger side is the same order, just instead of going to the right of the bolt, those parts go to the left of the bolt)

9. Now pull the side panels towards the front of the car, be careful not to crack any of the plastic peices

now your interior should look something like this:
