[QUOTE="zacster, post: 8791084, member: 683280"] I did the install on one side only today, and the one side sounds pretty good. Why only one side? It started when I took the tweeter out of the dash and realized that the crossover in the plastic case the size of a deck of cards is too big to fit anywhere in the tweeter compartment. I even thought well maybe I externally mount the tweeters in the supplied fitting and put the crossover in its place but it wouldn't fit there either. Since I was doing the drivers side there were no great options underneath either as I didn't want it to interfere in any way with pedals or controls. I found a single screw hole that was empty and made a bracket out of flat aluminum rod. That took a while to get the sizing right, to bend it, to drill it, etc... Then I moved on to the wiring, which needed a little bit of custom work since the wiring harness was built on the assumption that only the tweeter had a filter but the woofer went straight through. The tweeter bracket itself needed to have the hole cut out and rather than a trip to HD for a hole bit, I cut it with a knife and my Dremel. That took time too. With all that prepared I then had to get it all in place, which required a lot of awkward positions for a 67 year old with a bad knee. I had to connect 6 wires to the crossover while under the dash, and then the bracket and then attach it. I got all that in and it all worked! I moved on to the woofer which requires removing the door panel and I only had a little trouble with that. The woofer bracket also needed cutting, the screw tabs for a slightly smaller speaker needed to be cut off. Once that was done it went in easily. All in all it was 5 hours just to do that. I expect the passenger side to go in a lot more easily as I know what to expect. [/QUOTE]
