this is as easy of a job as it gets. rate it 1/10 . First you will need a 10mm socket with short or medium extension and a phillips screwdriver. start at the top of the subwoofer and remove the 2 bolts 10mm heads. be careful as not to scratch the subwoofer face hence the need for an extension.

 

Second remove the trunck carpet and cardboard support.

 

thirdly you will need the screwdriver to remove the bolt holding down the styrofoam base .

 

Fourth you will need the 10mm socket again to remove the last bottom bolts on the subwoofer box.

 

then Remove the connector attached at the top of the subwoofer you will need to tilt it out slightly it has a push up clip on the bottom. try using the screw driver to push up the little clip.

 

Now remove you subwoofer, its not to bad about 10 lbs in wt.

 

here is the sub out of the car. your Done. I will post some pics of the internals tonight and see what my upgrade path is for better sound.

 

you dont need to remove the cardboard its not in the way

 

Subwoofer complete is 16 pounds on my scale. to remove it from the box, you will need to remove all the grill screws and then the large silver screw in the back center location. here is an open box pic.

 

the speaker on the back says 1.1ohm 75w, made in china , who would have guess, mitsu

 

I dont know how you will remove the styrofoam the card board sits on it. it not a must bu keeps the clutter down and gives you room to work .

 

Thanks tons for all these writeups!

 

Very good with good quality pics.

 

So where are the promised pics, etc. of the planned changes? I was relatively impressed with the OEM RF system but if you have an easy solution for even, more there would be no argument from me!

 

there is another thread on subwoofer replacement. I dont have any info yet but Will post when i find a good sub or amp sub combo.
