I found it easier to just use 3 tools...7mm, 10mm hand driver and a screw driver. A wrench sometimes is more work.

pull the speaker box through the glovebox opening.

you do not need to undo everything...the plastic is very thin. (made in mexico) dont screw it back on too hard the plastic will snap.


tomorrow i will post the sub box.

Oh definitely worth it...the sound quality difference from stock to aftermarket is unparalleled.
I used 6.5 all around and the front is powerbass and the Soundboard is Polk.
