I kept all the stock speakers and wiring. Simply replaced the stock amp with the JL. There are many adjustments and it took me a couple hours but the sound is incredible.

more info?

That sounds like an awesome upgrade!

Was it difficult? What did it entail?

Any chance you could hook us up with some details??

Tha difficult part.....

Was paying for it.

I took it to Dedona Tint and Sound in Greensboro. They replaced the old amp with this one. They built a small discrete box and mounted it behind the driver's seat with Mercedes matching carpet. I can take the faceplate off with one allen screw and do any necessary adjustment. The amp has several adjustment screws and it took quite a while to get it to fit my preferences. It sounds unreal though.

I will get a pic up. One wouldn't know it was there except for the small green power light.
