Could anyone walk me through removing the passenger side rear panel which hides the factory subwoofer? I've read that you pretty much have to take the whole rear panel off. I'd like to get a look at the factory subwoofer, amp, and enclosure to get some ideas as to how to replace it.
I'm thinking of putting a aftermarket sub in the factory enclosure with the factory amp, or an aftermarket sub in the factory enclosure with an aftermarket small amp. I'm not looking for big boom, just improvement over the factory sub. Or is the existing factory sub/amp combo my best option?
A "how to" or any other suggestions about the second part of my question would be appreciated. I'm trying not to tinker to much because I like the factory HU and steering wheel controls, but would like to improve the sound on the cheap. So far the Polk DB570's have been a nice improvement over the stock speakers, and I'm now looking at the bass.
