I can't figure out how to remove the trim in the back to get to the speakers....please help!

Thanks!

sorry 2-door, ls, 2x4

 

Well I have a 96 Blazer 2Dr LS and since they didnt change the body style between this might work. Start off by unscrewing the little coat hanger piece at the top in the back. Then you need a torx bit to take off the seat belt. All of the trim pops off after that. It's funny you asked that because I was trying to install my new Kenwoods in my backseat today but got stuck on the seatbelt part. Ive looked everywhere for the bit for it but I cant find it anywhere so im turning to ebay. Hope that helps though.

 

yeah. Take off the hanger clip at the top then take off the oh sh** handle if its there then get a torx bit and remove the seatbelt i think its T55 but im not 100% sure, then open the side window and jus pull on that plastic around the corners and it should come right off.

 

You can find that torx bit at Auto Zone or Advanced Auto. Usually any of the car stores will have it.

 

thanks for the help. didn't buy the bit...just bent it up a little. broke one of the plastic trim tabs but the install came out pretty clean.

thanks also to hillybilly in ohio for the post about going through the firewall with the amp power wire.

Lookin pretty Slick!

 

just did mine
its a 55 torx bit for the seatbelts
need a 10 mm socket for the handles and a screwdriver for the hooks
and its was a bit#@ needed 2 people for the pass side
also this a 10 ohm speaker if anybody wants to know

 

Yea, I noticed that...why a 10 ohm speaker? I know what an ohm is...a measure of resistance. Does that mean the factory speaker had a lot of resistance? What are the benefits/downfalls?

How does this effect my new speakers since I am still using the factory radio?

My 6x9 are rated at 100 watts RMS and the amp is 75 watts (at 4 ohms) but I have to have the amp level turned way down. Sound level is decent but I thought I would get more out of this setup. Also, the amp's birth certificate has it rated just over 100 watts at 4 ohms.

 

higher resistance usually means less power. your interior speakers will be fine running off of the factory unit, but you will get more sound and more control from an aftermarket. read my sticky at the top of the a/v section for setting your gains on your amplifier!

 

Where would this post be about the firewall in the jimmy/Blazer.....link
