Pull the back seat out. It pops off. Pull in the center of where passenger sits, one on each side. At the bottom of the back rest you'll find two bolts to remove, then lift up on the back rest. If belts go threw the back rest, you can remove them or just push the backrest forward enough to remove the back dash cover. It is held on with plastic plugs. You will have to remove the column side panels to get it out. They pop off, but look for a screw at the bottom first.

1999 Chrysler Concorde LXI Rear Speaker replacement

If you mean the rear shelf removal, then you begin by removing the rear seat (lift to release the corner clips on each side holding the cushion to the floor). Then remove the fasteners for the seat belts, then lift the seat back to raise and release it from its clips, and remove it from the vehicle. There are then a lower and upper trim panel around the back shelf that you need to remove (these may be on each side of the shelf, e.g. they are called 'quarter trim' panels). Then you will see some push-pin fasteners that hold the shelf across the front lower edge, so you gently pry out the center push-pin of each one of those to release the fastener. Then you pull the shelf forward to release it from the clips that hold it under the window. Then remove the wire to the center high-mounted brake light. The panel with its speakers attached can then be removed, but also remove the wires from the speakers so you don't break those. connections.
That is the procedure as shown in my '98 manual.
