From start to finish this project took about 2-3hrs. I've included the template I created to make the speaker panels. Print this exactly on the correct paper size and you shouldn't go wrong. Please note: These speakers do nothing more than "fill" in rear sound. I get no bass out of them. By far the best upgrade I did was to get rid of that CDR-220 and put in my USB Kenwood unit (even with stock front the car sounds alot better). I also have fiited a Bazzoka Tube for extra bass. I will document that in another thread.

Overview
The rear compartment has two "boxes" on the two ends. The idea is to remove these and replace with some speakers.

Template Paper Size
US Letter Size (8.5" x 11")

Materials
3.5" Polk Speakers - $50
40ft Oxygen Free Cable - $20
Cable Connector - $5
Insulation Tape/Wire Tape - $5

Instructions to image

0. Remove rear compartment and flip. Remove the 3 screws from the panel.

1. Carefully use a sharp blade to cut along the glue line. For me this was very easy. Do not cut into (black) plastic.

2. Prize apart the "box" from the main unit.

(part 2 up next)
