How To Upgrade Your Stock 8" Woofers
-----------------------------------------------

The woofers are JL Audio 8W1V2-4 but any 8" (or 20cm) woofer will do.






Step 1: Once you've removed the woofers from the doors, you'll need to remove the 4 screws under the foam surround and pry off the old woofer.

Step 2: Then you'll need to cut the sides of the hole on the speaker adapter (shown above) to match the diameter of the magnet going on.

Note: You'll also need to cut about the same amount of metal on the doors for the woofer magnets to fit.

Step 3: Then you'll need to cut the 3 braces on each side depending on how deep the new woofers go.

Step 4: Then you tap new holes along the rim of the new woofers to match the existing anchors, and use the existing screws to mount the woofers.

Step 5: Just splice the old connector with the new speaker wire to connect to the new sub.

For best sound quality, do not use these with the factory stereo system.
