Step 2. Remove the big styrofoam cover, it just pulls right out. Then remove the 3 plastic nuts that holds the metal bracket in place. These are 10mm and located one in the top center and one in each bottom corner.

Step 3. With the mounting plate unbolted just tilt it back towards you, away from the firewall and let it rest on the carpet pad. There is plenty of slack on all the wiring. The big silver box on the your right hand side is the amplifier. There are 2 plugs on the back/bottom side of the amp with locking clips facing the floor. These plugs are very tight, the 12 pin plug is the on the right contains the signal input from the stereo and the ground wires for the amp. The 18 pin plug on your left side of the amp contains the speaker level output, 12 volt battery supply, a VSS wire and a convertable top status if its a roadster to improve the sound with the top down.
