How To Remove Dash

Post by oped »

Hi, Im attempting to remove the dash so I can get to the 4" speaker on the drivers side under the dash... I believe I have to remove the dash to get to it.. but do i have to remove the entire dash?

Thanks

I'd say go go gadget arms would be better for that job. LOL You'd have to take the whole dash out and it's a prick of a job. Most people just end up leaving it and mounting door speakers/pods. If you do take the whole dash out you should do a "how to" guide for the tech section :beer

i hope you don't like your neaboughs because getting the dash out requires alot of f#*k, F#*K, C%#t, son of a bitch!!!!!!!!! its the only way to get it out. allow 2 days to get the dash out without breaking all of the old and brittle componants under it.

i took mine out so i could strip all the AC gear out to dump some weight. i filled in all the vents on the dash board except for the windscreen demister vents, i've now got just a heater core a 6inch fan and some custom ducting (yet to make but very simple) will post pics later
boost = the replacement for displacement

Be warned also that the 4" speakers are really shallow and there's not much room for anything bigger in there (unless you remove parts of the ducting).
