➤ How to remove the rear shelf of the grant - installing an acoustic shelf

After purchasing a car, it is often necessary to modify some of its components, elements, and mechanisms. The reasons are the most banal: upgrading the audio system, installing additional speakers, a subwoofer, etc.

Standard designs do not allow placing a row outside the factory components. Depending on the complexity of the task, we carry out the Lada Granta upgrade both independently and with the help of workers from a specialized studio.

Shelf material

The standard design is made of impact-resistant polymer material.

A tuned version of a shelf made of wooden inserts - supports, covered with felt fabric, which also serves as a noise absorber.

At the customer's request, the shelf for acoustic speakers can be made of special wood. This is practiced if you want to achieve an “ideal” sound. Obviously, the cost is several times more expensive than analogues.

Audio system installation

When buying a Lada Granta, a car enthusiast cannot always determine whether the vehicle is prepared for the subsequent installation of an audio system. Typically, such a system includes simple speakers with average sound quality. However, this option rarely satisfies drivers.

Lada Granta is quite well prepared for the installation of modern audio systems. This preparation includes having the necessary wiring to connect the car radio and speakers. To carry out this work, you will need a screwdriver, bits, edges, a knife and insulating tape.

Before installing the acoustics, you need to turn off the power to the vehicle. To do this, remove the minus terminal from the power supply. Please note that the antenna is often installed in the upper right corner of the windshield. A place for it is cleared in advance.

The electrical wiring must be routed under the dashboard to the glove compartment. There is a small plastic trim on the right side of the glass that will need to be turned off. The modern antenna is equipped with an excellent self-adhesive panel that can be easily and quickly mounted to the windshield. In order for the antenna surface to bond well with the glass, you will need to degrease it. A special tool is used for this. A similar technique is used when installing speaker systems on various brands of cars.

The next step involves installing the main instrument holder. Before installation, the serviceability of the radio is checked. To do this, you need to turn it on and listen to the radio station.

To ensure the speakers are installed correctly, first remove the door trim. To do this, glue a special ESP connector located on the back side. The manufacturer took care of the presence of an opening with a diameter of 30 cm for the speaker. Speakers are installed in these places. The final stage is to turn on the minus terminal and tighten the screws.

Preparatory work

So, if the owner has firmly decided to upgrade on his own, then we prepare the following:

set of automotive tools;
new shelf, insert;
speakers (optional);
blocks with electrical wires for connecting to the central power circuit;
other components at the discretion of the owner.

The shelf on the Granta sedan is located behind the rear row of seats. By default, the design does not have holes for speakers. This is precisely the stumbling block for many owners.

How to choose the right shelf?

For the purchased component, an important aspect is not only the stylish exterior, but also significant quality in manufacturing. An affordable option in terms of price is a product made with plywood reinforcement. This option is easy to find in most retail outlets.

Modifications involve the installation of speakers having a standard size of 6x9 inches. In some versions, the shelves are equipped with a seat for an audio amplifier. In order to subsequently connect the acoustics built into the shelf, you will need to acquire the required set of cables.

An important point for this product is the presence of a practical top coating. An acoustic shelf trimmed with leatherette or, alternatively, carpet, has a very attractive exterior. These materials are excellent for cleaning, which is required constantly, since the presence of dust deposits on the product itself, as well as on the speakers, is unacceptable. The best cleaning product is a regular car vacuum cleaner.

The design of the shelves is very different. This is evidenced by pedestals for dynamic heads, made both in the form of protrusions and in the “image” of holes. We recommend considering the version with a bright and unique design that fits perfectly into the Lada Granta. Careful assembly should not be neglected, because the presence of unevenness and insufficient structural strength are unacceptable.

The process of removing and installing a shelf

We place the car on a flat platform, open the rear row of doors to provide full access to the shelf;
lower the backrest of the rear row of seats;
unfasten the seat belt fastenings, having first unscrewed the fastening bolts;
unscrew the fasteners for the child seat;
use a screwdriver to pry up three plastic latches;
pull it towards you and remove the plastic shelf.

Finally, we install the new one and assemble the components in the reverse order.

How to remove the rear shelf of a Lada Granta to install speakers yourself

Some points of sound insulation

You can increase the level of noise and vibration insulation in various ways. If we are talking about a standard design, then they practice pasting with felt fabric on the outside / underneath.

When it comes to a liftback shelf, it is already soundproofed from the start; there is no need for additional noise reduction.

We’ll look at how to remove the Grant liftback trunk shelf below.

When installing custom shelves, they are soundproofed by default during the manufacturing process.

How to install an audio system on a Lada: features

The standard equipment of the Lada Granta consists of elementary speakers with average sound quality. Accordingly, there is a desire to install something more serious in your car. In fact, this car brand has good preparation for a really high-quality audio system. The car has the necessary wiring for the car radio and beepers.

Before making the connection, disconnect the power from the vehicle.

In order to do the installation yourself, you should have:

Correctly the electrical wiring is laid under the car's dashboard and all the way to the glove compartment. You should also remove the plastic trim located on the glass on the right side. It is recommended to use modern antennas, as they have a self-adhesive base, which means the installation process will be much easier. But it should be remembered that any glue does not like dirty surfaces. Therefore, the future location of the antenna must be thoroughly cleaned and degreased.

Next comes the installation of the main device holder. First you need to check whether the car radio is working well, for which it turns on and tunes to any radio wave.

Then comes the installation of the speakers. They can be installed on car doors, since the main speakers will be located at the back. For this there are holes with a diameter of 30 cm.

After everything is installed and secured, the “-” terminal is returned to its place on the power supply and all the screws are tightened. Now you can enjoy high-quality music while driving.

Lada Granta and acoustics

Acoustic shelf on grant

One cannot but rejoice that among all the new products in our automobile industry, Granta is best designed for modification to modern radios and speakers. This is a convenient, competent car device and pre-installed factory cables for any powerful acoustics.

Acoustic shelf grant

The market offers a wide selection of colors of ready-made shelves to suit any style and interior design. Ready-made models to suit the dimensions of any car are offered for purchase. But often, already during installation, it turns out that the dimensions are incorrect and the shelf does not fit. You have to waste time, make a replacement and return the money (the price of the shelf is not that low). From experienced experience: if you want to do it well, you have to do it yourself! Moreover, you can mount the shelf yourself, even in your garage, without resorting to the services of dubious and expensive craftsmen.

General information about music in Grant

In this section, we will consider general non-professional points about music in the Lada Granta.

Installing music

If you have a VAZ 2190 in the basic configuration (or Norma) with audio preparation, then installing music will entail the following steps:

Removing the radio cover - on the back side there are ISO connectors for power and speaker wires. You will have to run the wires to the rear speakers yourself if you plan to install an acoustic shelf, since from the factory the wires are routed only to the doors;
Installation of a 1-DIN radio (for 2-DIN you will have to farm, cutting out a jumper in the panel and looking for a suitable frame);
Finding and connecting the plug of the pre-installed antenna - often the antenna wire on the roof is lost under the ceiling trim and it turns out to be easier to install the antenna separately than to find the factory cable;
Pulling wires into the trunk to connect an amplifier, subwoofer and speakers installed in an acoustic shelf.
To install the amplifier, you will also need a separate power cable from the engine compartment directly from the battery terminal through a fuse.

Removing the jumper in the panel cladding is mandatory when installing a 2-DIN GU.
If your car does not have audio preparation, you will have to separate the power wires for the radio and the speaker wires in the door.

What kind of acoustics to put in Granta

Common budget music option:

radio tape recorder within 5000 rubles with the ability to adjust the equalizer;
16 cm component speakers with tweeters at the front;
acoustic shelf with speakers 6*9;
amplifier with subwoofer in trunk.

Let's look at an example of such a configuration with a price tag in the table (the calculation is for ordinary people, not audiophiles) based on Pioneer devices:

Example of a Pioneer device	Average price tag in rubles
Head unit (radio)	DEH-S101UB	4000
Front 16cm acoustics	TS-G1733i	2000
Acoustic shelf	1500
6*9 “pancakes”	TS-R6951S	2200
Amplifier 2-channel	GM-A3702	4300
Passive subwoofer in a box	TS-WX305B	5200
Subwoofer installation kit	1500

As a result, we get budget sound in the region of 20 thousand. If we consider professional head units, premium-segment speakers, installation of custom podiums and other delights, the price tag can easily jump over a hundred thousand, amounting to a third of the cost of the car itself.

The choice of podium depends on the type of windows, budget and number of speakers.

Podiums in the front doors

We will not describe the technology for making podiums with our own hands. Next is a selection from various resources for ready-made podiums and manuals for self-production.

Here is a link to a store with ready-made options and prices. It's not advertising that's a source of inspiration.
Here is a photo report on self-production with comments.
