onecrazyfoo4u Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 I want to get to the 8" subwoofer in back to replace it with something of better quality in my 2012 crew. I know its on the drivers side, but the grill doesn't come off. Do you really have to pull the entire side panel off? How do you get it off? It seems stock where the cargo strap hold is by the 12v power source, and that doesn't screw off or anything. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lebowski Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 Do you really have to pull the entire side panel off? I think so. This is the manual that explains how to install the backup camera, you can use the section regarding the side panel (which in turn requires removing the seats in the third row) and ignore the rest. I'm afraid it isn't too clear and it doesn't explain how to remove the safety belts of the third row (a torx screwdriver of the correct size should be enough) but you can use it as a rough guide Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anybody have anything better? I know there's people on here that have upgraded the stock sub...how did you get to it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstralRT Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 I know there is someone on here that replaced the stock speakers/sub with mopar kickers, have a search on here for that, you might get the info there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onecrazyfoo4u Posted January 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 I've tried searching the forum left and right but there's nothing that describes how to get the back access panel off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biohazard Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 it wouldnt surprise me that the whole panel would have to come off, they dont make these things easy to work with like they used to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Journey13_SXT Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 You do have to remove that entire panel... Pain in the butt! I just installed an overhead DVD player last week and relocated the rear AC controls to where the middle dome light was and upgraded the speakers... Had to remove the panel and make "Mods" to get a 10 inch sub to fit. But it sounds great now! Kids loved the feel on our road trip this week. I will post some pictures I took when we get back home.

I was thinking about doing a 10inch mod but wasnt sure about the factory amp.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Journey13_SXT Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 I kept stock amp. Could most definitely use a better amp, but with kids, I am satisfied. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onecrazyfoo4u Posted March 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 Definitely post some pics man! I'm curious to see what you had to modify to fit a 10" sub in there. I'm sure (even with using the stock amp) that the bass quality has improved dramatically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
