They sure do! There's a 6x9" speaker hiding behind there.

Well I wouldn't call it popping off....

There is a screw to take out in the little clothes hanger piece, and then you gently push the sail panel up and it comes out of its notches.

Thought I'd share that so you don't go ripping something apart.

Hey 82firebird, thanks, I was hoping they weren't 4x6's. Also thanks to you 3.1 EyeCandy, as I was clueless as to how to remove the panels. Now one more question, what size are the speakers in the dash, as all of my speakers are blown.

haha. or just rip the *** damn piece of **** 6-9s out since it is a camaro. You wont be having any passengers anytime soon....Put a few amps, subs, and some components, a good head unit and listen to how good it will sound...

But on to topic...Ya taking the sail panel off is easy as pie. Stop asking here and go for it....The dash/kick panels will be the tricky part.

You can remove the plate the 6 X 9 speakers are mounted to and replace with a piece of hardboard material and mount 2 round speakers in each sail panel.
