How to Replace the Speakers on a 2005 KIA Spectra

The 2005 Kia Spectra has six speakers installed on the inside: two six by eight speakers on the front and rear door two six by nine speakers on the rear deck. The plastic door panels will need to be removed from the door frames to access the door speakers, and to access the rear deck speaker, you will need to go through the trunk. You will need little in terms of tool and about 30 minutes to replace all six speakers.

Things You'll Need

  • Screwdriver
  • Replacement speakers
  • Open the driver side door and remove the screws from around the edge of the door where the panel meets the door frame using the screwdriver. Pull the door panel off the door to expose the speaker.

  • Remove the wire harness from the speaker connectors by pulling the harness using your hand. Remove the screws that are securing the speaker to the door using the screwdriver. Pull the speaker off of the door.

  • Place the new speaker onto the door. Replace and tighten the screws to secure the speaker to the door. Plug the wire harness into the connectors on the new speaker. Repeat for the other three door speakers.

  • Open the trunk and disconnect the wire harness from the rear deck speakers the same way as you did for the door speakers. Remove the screws that secure the speakers to the trunk frame using the screwdriver and pull the speakers off of the trunk frame.

  • Place the new speakers onto the trunk frame. Replace and tighten the securing screws. Plug the wire harness into the new speakers and close the trunk.
