Default New rear speakers

Hello, I am thinking about replacing my OEM speakers in my MY02. I bought the car with the factory rear speakers in the headrests, but I would like to replace them as well. Has anyone every disassembled the rear headrest speakers to do this before? Was it even worth it? Thanks.

Its not worth it... Just get yourself some speakers and install them in the rollhoops (S-pods) or just install them in the rear plastic panels.

Yes, I took the rollbar covers off to see what size speaker OEM speaker was installed. It looks to be a non-standard install and is so small it wasn't worth the effort for me. The Boston Pro 60's I installed worked so well I didn't need the rollbar speakers even though they are hook up to the head-unit.

IMO, there are as crappy as the stock door speakers, if not worse. The better route to go would be to go with a high quality component speaker in the door and forget the rollbar.

He doesn't have the same speakers as the 2006 rollbar speakers He has the older version that was installed behind the rollhoops in a little speaker pod.

I thought the pod attached to the back to the seat (where the mesh hole is), a la Alpine's navigation speaker (but larger).

about the S-pods. Best investment for overall sound levels at speed.

Thanks for the input. I think I am just going to replace the door speakers with nice ones, and leave the rear roll hoops alone. - Thanks!
