To remove the parcel shelf in the sedan you must remove your back seat. Pretty much lift the bench up and the back is held in by 4 bolts. Once the 4 bolts that hold the back are off, you can tilt it up and then you have to slide the whole back seat up to unclip it from the top mounts.
Once the back seat is out, you need to remove the pillar trim. You need a flat head screw driver as you need to insert it in between the groove where there will be a metal tab that must be pressed to release the pillar trim. Then it is held with clips.
Once the pillar trim is off, the parcel shelf is held down with 3 pop in things, but the pillar also holds it in at the sides where the glass meets the parcel shelf. The hard way is to remove the rest of the pillar trim (which requires removing air bag and stuff) but the way i did it was apply downward pressure on the parcel shelf at that point and upward pressure on the pillar trim (its kinda flexible and will work).
Once the parcel shelf is off, the removal of the sub is quite easy, held in by either 2 or 4 screws/bolts.
If you need any more information, it is all in the body section of the workshop manual hosted
here. Here are the pages required:
Rear Shelf Trim Removal: PDF Page 598 (EI-70)
Rear Quarter Trim Removal: PDF Page 591 (EI-63) (I only did steps 1 + 2, didnt bother removing the whole thing)
High Mount Stop Light Removal: PDF Page 303 (LI-33)
Rear Seat Removal: PDF Page 450 (SE-14)
Hope all this helps.
