How to remove rear deck 6x9’s

I’m installing a stereo system and want to remove the 6x9’s since I am installing a 4080 box sub but can’t figure out how to remove these rear 6x9’s. Checked around and can’t find a DIY to get them out anywhere on here or on YouTube. What is the next step? I have the screw behind the SRS pop out off now in the first picture but what is after this? Thanks

I simply pulled up the rear deck cloth without taking anything else off (after removing the clips facing the front of the car and the cover for the rear seat latch) and unscrewed the 4 screws holding on each speaker adapter plate using a 10mm wrench and shimmied the speaker and the plate out the bottom into the trunk. It was pretty tight but I didn't need to take the side panels off. Afterward I put sound deadening on all the contact points and where the speakers used to go. Those guys are HEAVY.

Not sure if my car already was somewhat disassembled by the time I got to it.

Forsure thanks for your help and quick response! Going to check it out when I get home, was reading you have to take off the seatbelts/ side panels off and it seemed like a hassle so hopefully I can get this method to work. Yeah, I was deciding between just leaving it open or putting sound deadening, might go with the sound deadening if that’s what’s preferred for our cars.

I know if you take the speakers out there's just a big hole from the trunk to the passenger quarter, so if you've got loud mufflers like me all that drone goes straight into the trunk and right into the cabin if there's no deadening over the speaker holes.

When I did it a few months back I pulled off the upper rear plastic potions you haven't removed yet in order to remove a few hidden bolts that hold the deck and speakers on.

If you didn't sound proof the new hole you made, you'll probably get a lot more exhaust noise, FYI .

I didn’t sound proof it as of now, going to see how it sounds once everything is done and if it’s too much then I’ll do it Now that I know how to get it all off, it wouldn’t be horrible Is it a huge difference in your opinion?

Not that much, but the trunk is sound dampened FWIW.
