Hello everyone. I've got the same problem with the rear speaker in my 2000 Avalon with an additional problem. I CAN'T GET THE DARN THING OUT!! I removed the cover, disconnected the brake light, took out the 10mm bolts, and PRESTO....it won't come out. The hole in the rear deck panel isn't big enough for it to pass through. I've pushed, pulled, and finagled it every which a way and nada. Am I going to have to cut the hole out bigger?? If someone could elaborate a little more on the removal procedure I would really appreciate it. THANKS!!
