Shoot, I took the side panels, center console, carpeting, spare tire, and even the entire back seat out to install mine. Wasn't all really necessary, but if you're going to do it, might as well do it right, right? And all this was on my new car. BTW, I was also installing 2 amps, a crossover, 4 new mids, 2 subs, and an alarm. So I gues it really wasn't all that bad, considering.

At least I already had all the other equipment from my cherokee, just hadn't bothered to install any of it. The Empeg was my perfect excuse.
