The screen on the rear dash seems to be clamped or screwed down and if you look in the trunk you can see the bottom of the sub but I can't see anything in there to unscrew or whatever to lift the screen off.

Default Here are directions...

1. You have to remove the rear seats.To remove the bottom seat, just grab a corner and lift up and do the same on the other side.Remove the bottom seat and you will see 4 10mm bolts that hold the back seat down.Once you remove the four bolts, simply lift up and and pull towards you.Be careful with the seat belts.Now that you have the entire back seat out, you now have access to the rear deck.There are 3 plastic screws that pop out and the rear deck slides right off.Keep in mind that you have to disconnect the brake light from inside the trunk.You'll see what I'm talking about when you remove the rear deck cover.Good luck..

Default it's really not that bad...

Honestly it takes about 10-15 min if your doing it yourself.One thing that I forgot to add.The removal of the woofer itself is self explanatory.If you run into any problems just drop me a PM.

Factory amp is located rear passenger side of trunk under the cd changer or if you don't have a changer, just lift up on the carpet panel.This is not that hard of procedure.If you want to get started just lift out the bottom seat first to see how simple it really is.Do it piece by piece.Does anybody sit back there anyway??
