How to remove front deck grills?
Hi, I just got 2008 9-3 with 150W - so happy
Because I noticed 6x9 opening and easy access on rear deck it was a quick job to replace rear ones.
Now I am looking to replace front L/R. I carefully read this thread and only one type of instruction
what I found was "pop grill with butter knife" but how? there are pins, should I just forcefully try to pop
out grills or should I try to locate and press pins in someway?
I know it's may be silly question but still any bit of advise will be really appreciated. I simply do not want
to mess-up grills. Btw another question, can I get replacement grills from dealer (in worst case)?
Thank you!

The grills pop out pretty easy without much effort. Just start out slowly, don't force it and you should be ok.

i have a bose centerpoint 11-speaker system in my car 9-3 (2008). i have sinced replaced the stock HU with an aftermarket system and 2-way component speaker system.
i am considering putting in a mid-range into the dash speaker openings. think there's a chance for me to do so. btw, i already have a 4" tweeter on A-pillars and don't want another mids on it. thus the consideration.
any suggestions?

I recently found this thread and immediately put the BA S35's, BA S45's and the Kicker CVT 6.5's on my Christmas list. Based on the info here I am very excited to install the BA's and think they will make a huge difference, but I am still a little unsure about the Kickers as I have not been able to find any solid reviews or first hand accounts on how they worked.
I suppose I am just writing/requesting anyone who has put the Kickers in the doors to give any sort of insight and review on the install and how they sound.
Happy to be part of the saab world community.Last edited by dfb11; 15 November 2011 at 16:44.

If I am putting BA's in the rear shelf, do I have to remove the whole shelf or just pop off the grills like the front dash???
also, in response to DjTicojon75....
I have ordered Infinity Kappa's to put into the doors. I will just use the woofer. I could not find any information about anyone installing the Kickers or anything else for that matter. I am assuming the tweeters, etc on the Infinity Reference 6032 si's make them more of a full range speaker rather than just bass.
I don't even have my speakers on hand yet, and I am not sure when I will put them in, but I will post whenever I do.

I'm looking forward to hearing how the Kappa's worked out. The stock door speakers provided a much smoother/cleaner bass. The Infinity's is more of a punching bass, which in a 6.5" 2-way is more of a distorted punch at mid-higher volumes. I did end up ordering the Kicker CVT-652's for the doors.

I will definitely let you know and I would love to hear how the Kickers work out because I had them in the shopping cart to buy and then I backed out.
