If I can find it, I could scan it and upload it here if anybody else wants to DIY a solution for themselves.




I also replaced the stock door subs with Kicker 6.5" subs using the baffle design floating around here. VAST improvement over stock. I replaced the stock 4x40 amp with a pair of small-footprint MTX amps and I can't say enough good about them. I got the two amps to mount on the stock amp bracket in the frunk. The sub amp is a 1X500 class D (RMS at 2 ohms) while the main amp is 4x75 class AB.



When you wired the rear speakers, where they in series or parallel? I assume they are 4ohm speakers.

Thanks,
