This section focuses on some of the vehicle considerations for installing

Under Seat Subwoofer Replacement
• Ratchets
• Torx screwdriver / bits
• #2 Phillips Screw Driver
• Pick or small blade screwdriver
Step 1 - Seat Removal
Remove the bolts that hold the seat track to the floor.
Once all of the bolts are removed, tilt the seat back to provide access to
the subwoofer.
Do not unplug the wires under the seat. Doing
so could generate a WARNING light on the dash
of the car and require a trip to the dealership to
get cleared.
Step 2 - Subwoofer Cover Removal
Remove cover to expose subwoofer.
Step 3 - Subwoofer Removal
Remove the screws that hold the subwoofer in place. Lift the subwoofer out
of floor pocket and unplug the factory harness.
Step 4 - Subwoofer Installation
Plug factory harness into the new Rockford subwoofer. Place the new
subwoofer into floor pocket and use the factory screws to mount subwoofer.
Step 5 - Reinstall Subwoofer Cover
Once you have the subwoofer plugged in and mounted securely, reattach
the subwoofer cover using the factory screws.
Step 6 - Reinstall Seat
After you have the subwoofer cover installed and secure, place the seat
back down onto the floor. Tighten the factory bolts to manufacturer’s specs.
