console remover

Post by neetyrom »

I plan on putting a 10 inch sub into the car, but with my novices, i cant even rip apart the center console to even get to the stereo. any tips or suggestions on how to take the stereo out. a little history, the previous owner put an alpine deck in but it seems jammed in their pretty tightly, any tips on how to get around this scenario? i seem to suck at the simple tasks that most likely have an obvious answer. Any tips are welcomed, thanks again

Pretty much have to shop the contents to find the page of horrible photos relating to your mission. Not a solution, more of a general guide on where to look for the things that have to come off,...in the dark.

Start with the kick panel (screws) over the pedals. If you've not done this sort of thing much before, take the time to keep the parts, fasteners in piles or bags taped to the pieces they fastened. Draw little sketches or take photos of which wires connected to what.

Ten minutes or three weeks later you will be very glad you took that extra time.
