Default speakers

I have a 1998 Audi A4 2.8 with bose I just purchased some speakers to put in my rear deck but I don't know how to remove any of the panels. Can someone help me and give me some advice on how to do this without damaging anything?

rear speakers are are amplified separately in case you didn't know. www.audidiy.com should have anything you need.

The rear deck comes out in one piece (including the speaker covers).

Just found this how-to (thanks to the link posted above):

I've got to get in there and take a look at mine, too. My right rear speaker speakers rattles like crazy under bass.

^^^might not be the speaker, my rear deck rattles. but not to worried, goin to force some 8" subs back there come spring to get rid of my giant box.

to remove the rear deck, slide in the truck unclip the middle brake light, then you will see 3 "anchors" uptop. pop the plastic tops off of em, then unbolt the 3 bolts, and pull towards you.

Yea, thanks for the note. I don't know for sure if it's the speaker; in fact I wouldn't be surprised if it's just a panel or something vibrating. The speaker actually sounds fine, so I figure I can just tear in there and look around for the problem. Come spring, of course... too dam cold to be out there poking around now.

My speaker was giving some trouble and rattling -very annoying. I pulled the back seat and pushed up the deck, pushed in my hand felt around and discovered the semi-circular dome in the middle of the speaker had become unstuck. I removed it, turned back on the radio and it was playing perfectly.
I just have one question, should I seek to get the speaker repaired or can I leave it like that???
