Help removing stock system
So I ordered a new system. I plan on installing it this winter but I want to remove the stock system now to drop some weight for the fall racing season. I can get the center console out in a minute but I no nothing about pulling the head unit, door panels and speakers, rear speakers, and 12 disk changer. Any write ups out there to help me along?
Thanks,
Nick

once u pull center counsel out u literally unbolt the radio
rear speakers in a z06 are a PIA u gotta pull all the panels out but in a vert or coupe its super easy, front speakers u gotta pull the door panels
i recommend reading the c5 faq it addresses all of this

I would like to see the references to C5 coupe rear speaker replacement exempt the Z06 as there are a few people who have posted about being misled by information in the FAQ's.
One guy I remember posted that he destroyed a panel trying to "just pull the grill off".
