We're sorry. I can still sink it into the rear tire well. The boxes looked a little beat up due to the security device they have around them. They reassured me that they are fine and of course they are fully returnable within 30 days. So I bought it and opened it up in the car.
Everything looks perfect and brand new sealed. Just got home and really looked at it and this thing is built like a tank, it's all cast metal, very solid. I hope it sounds good as well as it looks. The sinking into the floor is going to be great. Now I'm waiting on my speaker harness and Kicker speakers to arrive. Then I will test the unit prior to building the mount in the tire well. If you can, would you try sliding it under the passenger seat to check the fit?
Not sure I would want to ride in the seat, but it might sound good for us single occupant commuters. You can post now and register later. If you have an account, sign in now to post with your account. Paste as plain text instead. Only 75 emoji are allowed. Display as a link instead.

I used a Metra speaker harness, it says its for Toyota and Mitsubishi it just doesnt lock with the clip with but its snug and shouldn't go anywhere. You'll need two to three tools a small flat head screwdriver to pop the speaker grill in the front and a small phillips screwdriver.
You may want a pair of dykes to snap off one of the plastic pieces for the rear speaker. After successfully popping off the speaker grill unscrew the two screws on each speaker, pull out each speaker slowly and disconnect the speaker harness.
The Kicker KS40 will not fit in the little cup the factory speakers come in so don't bother separating the factory speaker from the little cup. Connect the new speakers either with a new speaker harness below or splice new connectors. Drop the speaker in the mount after you've connected, screw them securely into the dash and replace speaker grill. For the rears I'd recommend folding the rear seats all the down.
Each rear speaker has 4 screws unfortunately I was only able to get 2 each because of the mount for the KS46 but its secure and doesn't bounce around. I dont think you'll need much instruction for the rear speakers just look at the picture below to see where the screw placement is. If you look in the lower right corner of the speaker mount you can see where i cut off a little bit of the clip to trim it down. Now how do these speakers sound? They are a definite upgrade from the factory speakers, they have a lot more range and you might want to tweak your tone settings to take advantage.

Eventually Id like to power these speakers from an amp but for now it will do the trick. UnchargedCandy , dinosmongoose , Gustavo and 1 other Like Loading Link to post Share on other sites. Replies 87 Created 8 yr Last Reply 5 yr.

I wonder if the KS35 or other 3. Probably not due to being even smaller. KS35 Specs Woofer in. I hope someone will come up with a way to hook up a backup camera to the Mylink also.
