[QUOTE="Guy, post: 1117245, member: 22717"] Nope, I had to use a heatgun to squash down the shelf inside. Similar to smurf with the kicker. The plastic is very easy to mold. It wasn't hard at all. Other than that the holes didn't exactly line up but the screws are self tapping so it wasn't a problem. The bass is very clean and deep enough that you can feel it in your gut. It won't shake the windows on the car next to you, but the stock amp and speakers are already a little overpowered by it. I'm not sure if the kicker is making bass as deep. It didn't sound it in the sound stage at the store but smurf might be able to comment further. Either will fit. I chose the pioneer because of the deeper sound and the matched door and dash speakers I bought. So far this was easy. Total job was 8am to 12pm... and that was me just fooling around taking my time with crimp connectors, etc.[COLOR="Red"] [SIZE=1]---------- Post added at 06:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:06 PM ----------[/SIZE] [/COLOR] When I'm all finished I'll give you guys an honest impression. The subwoofer mod I would put as safe for beginners if you're handy. You have to be comfortable with a heat gun, cutting and splicing wires, using wire crimpers, and basic use of hand tools. The door, dash and pillar speakers are about the same level I'm assuming, but you have to be really careful and I recommend you buy a trim panel popper so that you don't crack any clips or scratch anything. I would say the door speakers could get someone in to trouble if they aren't very slow and careful because it's in plain sight and if you crack something you're stuck with it. Guy [/QUOTE]
