Remove the old enclosure
1. Carefully remove the subwoofer enclosure cover by first lifting the rear edge of the cover and then lifting entire cover straight up. The cover should lift out with minimal effort, but may require some additional effort to release the rear snaps. Take your time and be careful when removing the sub lid! The easiest thing to do is to insert a flat, metal, handled-tool like a stiff putty knife and carefully pry each side up from the back.
2. Remove the 4 mounting screws (2) from the existing speaker enclosure (1).
3. Remove the old enclosure (1) by pulling upwards. Disconnect the wiring harness connector (2) and remove the entire enclosure from vehicle.
4. Using a socket wrench, loosen and remove the brackets (1) that the original factory enclosure was attached to. With a knife, diagonal flush cutters or small saw, carefully trim away the 4 plastic extrusions (2).
