sub. removal...PLEASE HELP!!

The sub in the back of my 98 explorer is blown. How do I get it out? I have gotten all the screws out and can't seem to understand what is still holding the thing in place. PLEASE HELP!!! I am at my wits end.

LOL you need to remove the enclosure and there is 1 yes just 1 screw holding it in. It is screwed into the maganet. I ran into the same thing and I almost ripped the sub out but then i notice the enclosure moving everytime I pulled and there it was....... a screw in the back. All them screws holding the sub in you would think it can handle some power huh................

when you refer to the enclosure I assume you mean the black thing behind the wall. I hope not. Does this mean I have to remove the wall to get to it?

Unfortunately, yes - the wall comes down...

Its not that bad actually. Just follow the edges and pull the pushpins out, and I think a bolt on the seatbelt clamp. Then everything is right there...

I don't have my specs sheet with me, so I don't remember the airspace for the factory boxes. But you can get something else and put in there, you just want to get a sub that gets as close to matching the airspace as possible.

Seems like the JL10W2 - I think that is the right number - is one that matches up pretty close... I'm too tired right now to remember part numbers...
