Do not pay 200 dollars, all you have to do is push yourself to do it and take off your door panel. When I installed mine I did not know how to take off my door either, but I just started looking at it closely and found out how and it was easy as hell. I did break a few of the clips but the ones I broke were not important anyways. Therefore, you do have to be careful about that but it is really no big deal. Getting the wire through the door can be a challenge too, depending on what size wire you use and all. There's a little rubber boot that you run them through. What I did was I ducted taped my 16g wire to some scrap 8g wire I had laying around and weaved the 8g through and then pulled the rest through. For the tweeters you can mount them on the "A" pillar too heighten the sound stage, or you can put them in the sail things too. I did not have room for either of those so I cut a hole in my door near the top and it looks very clean and factory looking. This gives you a change to get to know your car better...  |

Silver Member Username: Big_edge_headMilwaukee, Wisconsin USA Post Number: 846 Registered: Mar-07 | The A pillar is what the two ends of the windshield are called. The wiring is simple. wire from amp goes to the crossover. and then wire from crossover to the tweeter and the mid. |
