The panels ARE pop-out. They just aren't that easy to 'pop' out. They
are attached (on my '92) with a very hard scotch-lock that just required
a swift pull from the right area. There are I think three of them. You
should be able to feel around as you pull up on it to find out where
they are. Make sure you pull as close to each as possible so you don't
break it.
As far as what I've done with my stereo: I put in two I think 6.5'
midrange in the existing spots (had to cut the hole bigger), put in
separate tweeters there as well by cutting another small hole. I then
re-carpeted the grills entirely so you couldn't see the speakers behind
them. I did perforate the backing on the carpet to improve the tweeter
pass-through. For bass, I installed two 8-inch subs BEHIND the back
seat. I first reinforced the sheet metal by adding a think piece of wood
to the entire section and securing it well. I then drilled two 8-inch
holes through the wood and into the sheet metal, and set the speakers
INTO the canal behind the back seat, so they were firing UP at the back
of the back seat.
The system is completely hidden and ads LOTS and LOTS of bass and just
sounds great. (I added separates to the front, active crossovers, and
lots of amplifiers under the storage compartment in the trunk).
If you would like pictures of the install, let me know. I took many at
every stage.
