    How do you connect the speakers in? I just put them in with speaker lights and the clip that clipped into the factory speaker was attached to the factory speaker. how do i now connect them in?

    Could you unsolder the wiring from the stock speakers and solder it to the replacements?

    I did my first set by cutting wires off very close to speaker terminal. Then crimped female connects to the wires. After that I did as trilogybeer said.

    Just figured it out . Thank you .

    Question what sub are people using to replace the stock ones? Everything I see is complete kits

    I've installed Pinwoofer and replaced speakers on all 5 of my machines - for the speakers, I just went to a car audio store and chose some decent 5.25" and a separate sub. Ive used different ones but I've found the Kenwood KFC-XW800F 8" sounds great, doesn't break the bank, and its a good fit too.

    I've put 10" subs in a couple of machines and it's a bit of a pain to fit in some cases, and you have to drill extra holes in the cabinet to accommodate the bigger size. This one is currently in my Deadpool pro:

    It sounds fantastic, really thumps - but honestly the 8" Kenwood one isn't really that far behind it.

    I have the kicker but can’t get it to fit. Any tips?

    If it's the 8" sub it should fix. Now a 10" one may need a bigger hole (10").

    I use the BOSS CXX8. It’s a 10 minute install. PM me for details if interested
