@ Short Fuse: Thank you! this will be very help once my new sub comes in. Another question, how do I take the rear deck trim panel? I cannot seem to get the seat to move enough for me to access the plastic rivet things to get access to the top of the rear deck/speaker/sub area. Any info is appreciated.
