Here's my reply:

You don't "HAVE TO" remove the factory sub on the rear deck but you can if you want. Basically you have 2 scenarios:

1. (when you get your sub(s) installed) just open the trunk, pull the liner down that covers the rear deck (at the base of the rear window), and you will be able to reach in there and just unplug the factory subwoofer. It's as easy as that.



2. The other scenario would be more work but you have less chance of rattles. To remove the factory sub you have to remove the back seats and pull the liner from atop the speakers. There are plenty of theads and DIY's on this but it will be harder than just unplugging the sub since you won't be using it haha. This scenario would also be the best if you planned to dynamat or whatever product you use on the rear deck. To put dynamat on you would have to do like stated above (remove backseat, remove liner,etc) and then you would be able to lay the stuff down on bar metal.....and you would be able to remove the subwoofer and replace the rear speakers since they would be fully exposed now.



If your going to replace the rear speakers, Option 2. If your going to dynamat that rear deck (recommended), Option 2. ...I'd go option 2 if you have the time lol

Hmmm... I think I'd have to disagree with this.

When I did my original installation (Rockford / Focal), I used Stinger LOC's. At that time, I was happy. The sound was really good. Then a few years later, one of the LOC's started to fail, so rather than replacing it, I decided to look at other options. I found a 3Sixty on Craigslist for a hundred dollars, so I bought it (see my recent post about Christmas Presents to myself).

After a few hours of 'tuning' I was able to get the sound to be 'exceptional'.
You need to spend some time, and tune the unit to how you want it to sound. Everybody has a different preference for sound.

I would say that the 3Sixty is worth the money. I got a Version 1 because it was so cheap (used)... but if I could find a deal on a Version 2, I would definitely recommend getting that one.
