[QUOTE="Cobra-Master, post: 15785870, member: 13117"] The rear speakers behind the back seats did not make a huge difference, but they are better. The removal of the rear seat interior side panels are a pain! They don't want to go back in and that took some time to make it happen, but I got there. The biggest positive sound difference came from the 8" subwoofers in the doors, and the subwoofer in the trunk. I finally completed the entire installation. The other big pain was the door sill plates... they are glued down with double sided tape, so put some painters tape around them when you pry them up with a thin plastic tool or fishing line to avoid scratching what you can see once the plates are reinstalled. I learned the hard way on my passenger side. Also, the blue sill plate connectors don't come out with the sill plates so you have to pry them out separately and reattach them. The other issue was my subwoofer in the trunk didn't match the bracket mounting stud... Shelby/Kicker has the plate in the middle of the subwoofer, but my stud is at the back of the subwoofer, so I had to improvise, but it worked out okay. Adding an aftermarket amp would really be the only thing left. I plan on buying a Kicker CXA-300.4 for $199 and that should bring out the deep bass at low volumes... in any case, the system sounds 100% better in my opinion, even with the stock amp. The main issues are the removal of the door sill plates and the back seat side panel, they are both a pain to reinstall, but it's not impossible. Plan on getting some skinned up knuckles but it's worth it. [/QUOTE]
