Answer to my own question. Speaker is bolted from below. So bolts are upside down. You need to unscrew them by removing radio screen and there is also something else on the way behind screen. I actually just cut that speaker out with soldering iron by melting that plastic frame. Just needed to change that speaker and there is no intention to put it back. But i hope this helps someone else.

Hello! Does anyone know how to remove center speaker from Canton sound system? I managed to remove speaker grille. But that speaker looks odd. Workshop manual says that remove screws but im my car there is some plastic knobs. Thanks!

I changed my mind and installed DSP to replace Canton amplifier. So now i have this gear: Alpine R-S65C.2 speakers in front doors Match DSP UP8 under drivers seat 10” subwoofer in trunk and 500W RMS amplifier to drive subwoofer. Basser box. I also coded head unit with OBDEleven to send signal to speaker inputs. That replaced MOST going to Canton. sounds great now

that is explained before. that is explained before.

Okay! Thanks a lot!

Thanks @pab567 but still need to code unit to send speakersignal from head unit?

Yep. Thats what i actually found today from other forum. https://www.golfmk7.com/forums/index.php?threads/recoding-the-radio-to-eliminate-fender-amp.341803/ i think im going to test this because i have obdeleven. I would be happy if this works. Changing Canton system is quite a pain. if someone has other information about coding, i would be happy to know about it. Thank you @langers2k

I think i already got the answer to this. i opened up that head unit. It looks same as normal stereo but without speaker signal plug. So i think its possible to change there any Android unit.

Hello! i have Canton sound system in my octavia rs230 2016. I would like to change Canton sound system amplifier to DSP amplifier. Its not possible to change it without changing head unit. So im asking if someone would know what is difference between Canton and normal stereo head units wires? Is it possible to plug normal head unit instead of Canton head unit and run new speaker wires from head unit to new dsp and it would work?

Hello! I know this is old topic but lets wake it up. I also want to change my Canton system speakers. I have 2016 Skoda Octavia. So after long searching through internet i desided to ask from local car audio company, have they ever added aftermarket amplifier for subwoofer in Canton system. They had, and they said its done by using active high-low converter from Canton amplifiers front woofer channels. Thats because only front woofers provides full range of frequency for subwoofer. Rear woofers wont. Subwoofer channel will go to protect mode if there is no speakers installed to those wires. So, i ended up to buy active high-low converter, new speakers to front doors, amplifier for subwoofer, 10” subwoofer and Basser subwoofer box to replace Canton subwoofer. I think new 500w rms subwoofer would play a lot better than small Canton. A year ago i put sound deadening to front and rear doors, also trunk and under rear seat. It helped that little Canton subwoofer to play a lot louder, but frequency was too high. Not low at all. And also all bass comes from trunk. Not midbass at all from front doors. Im going to install new speakers next week, also high-low converter and wires and amplifier to trunk. New Basser sub box is also coming after next week. They are already shipping it from Basser. So i will tell you after i have installed all things and hope for the best.
