So I installed my kickers today. The drivers side was the biggest pain in the ass, I wound up not being able to get the speaker box out so I had to bend a screwdriver with a torch and vise in order to unscrew the speaker. Then putting the dash back together, I wound up cracking one of the side window defroster vents on the cluster bezel (snapped clean in the middle so I matched the two pieces up and you can barely notice anything happened, but I know ). Everything else went super easy though, and the sound quality is well worth it.

 

First off, thanks for buying KICKER!

I am curious, were there any issues with the installation manual as you went through the installation process? Do you think of any changes or elaborations are needed that would have helped you with the drivers side issue you had?

Thanks!

We'll I was surprised to see that they were updated for the 2011-2012 models, however, they left out a couple bolts that needed to come off (the ones on the the lower dash by the door strap hooks). They also mentioned a pull off panel by the glove box, but that panel didn't exist on my jeep, maybe the 2012's? Anyway, I think it's just the driver side being crammed with so much stuff that makes it difficult.
