Was pretty easy to install. I ran my cable through drivers pillar for a clean look. Took me about 1 1/2 hours with the wife’s help to stab. Sounds really good. I’m not into extreme loud bass music but you can adjust as needed. Love that it’s out of drivers view and can’t really tell it’s there. Also has the dome light which puts out some good light. Only con is you lose your review mirror. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has good enough bass but if you’re into extreme bass would recommend a different sound system. It’s very clear and I turned the bass down for a clean sound. I have a video and it’s not turned up all the way. IMG_3285.MOV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that correct? You don’t have to actually remove the whole roof. You just remove the 3 bolts on forward side of roof and lift it to get the bolts for speaker brackets installed. You mount the speaker then tighten all the hardware that goes through the cage. Remove the speaker and reinstall the roof bolts then reinstall speaker again.

Is there a reason why you don't remove the speakers to begin with and mount the empty bracket first then put the speakers back in? Also, I believe you have the OEM auto glass windshield like I have. Any issues with it during install? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I believe you have the OEM auto glass windshield like I have. Any issues with it during install? I thought the same thing. I installed two screws per side on the speaker bracket hardware then I mounted the whole assembly onto the unit. I secured the 6 screws on the bracket that goes through the roof cage and that sets the spacing for the speaker for when you remove it to reinstall roof bolts. If you just install brackets without the speaker it may be to tight to get speaker in or to spaced out for screws to reach. I had no issues with clearance or fit. I taped the extra harnesses to top of speaker with tape and only ran power and ground wire bundle through my pillar for a clean look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
