Angry UPDATE: Seat removal / Subwoofer HELP!!

Original Post: I was trying to remove my seat to change my subwoofer and needed help in doing so, Cl ppl helped along with Banana's website. Removal Problem Solved. NEXT.....

Now i changed my sub only to found out that the "Replacement Stock" sub i put in was broken also... i forgot to check it!!!!


The question is What free air sub can i install in the stock spot one that i can just purchase somewhere like a circuit city or best buy? I have no base in my car and i am getting REALLY PISSED!!!!

I work in New Haven and bought my GS from McDermott. You should call the Service Manager there, Doug Summerton, he helped me in the past. I have never taken the rear seat out and have no idea how to do it other than pulling hard. You could try D2 Autosports, A Club Sponsor, they have moved to North Colony Rd in Wallingford. Sure they could help.

Alexus, have you tried sliding in a thin and long screwdriver and just lift up?
