I have the shop manual. I have the owner's manual. I've studied both
from cover to cover --- I read the Body Electrical section of the shop
manual in total, and dug around in related sections... no joy!

There's that cover that goes over the back, and essentially separates
the trunk from the car's interior -- but I just don't see how to get it
off so I can get to the mounting screws.

I'm starting to discover more and more that as Toyota has evolved
(since my first Toyota, a green Corolla with wood paneling), they must
have had someone with sever dyslexia design more and more of their
fasteners.

Any clues? I gotta tell you -- Earth Wind & Fire sounds like crap
through blown speakers -- you gotta turn the damn bass down to zero,
which leaves nothing except for that dude with the high voice. help.

I don't know about the Corolla, but my 1994 Camry was a mystery also
until I found a website giving me instructions on how to do it.

You have to start with the seat bottom, maybe seat backs, then side
bolster cushions, then the screws that hold the rear deck will become
visible. At least this is the way I remember it. I think you'll be
headed in the right direction.

No matter what happens, someone will find a way to take it too
seriously.

I have exactly the same problem with my 95 Corolla. I fanally decided it
wasn't worth the trouble to figure out so I disconnected the factory
speakers and ran wires to the connectors through two holes I punched in
the deck. I hooked them to a couple of old box speakers from the stereo I
had when I was a kid. Total cost: $3 and they sould better than it did
from the factory.

I have a 1993 Corolla, so it should work the same. Take off the rear
seat bottom, then the side cushions by undoing the bolt at the bottom
of each one and sliding them up, and take off the brake light. Fold
the seats down to be able to pop the clips along the front of the rear
deck cover. Then, flex the cover a little and slide it out and you'll
be able to get to the speaker mounting bolts.

Good Lord. Lemme tell ya, if I made my decision based on what's easier
to fix and swap stuff on, I would've gotten another Honda instead.

Looks like its time to do some contortions in the trunk... thanx
