I always find it incredible how factory and aftermarket installed splits have the tweeters near the a-pillars. From a sound engineering point of view, this is far from optimum. Simple physics tells you you should have the tweeters as close to the matched midrange speakers as possible. That is why I installed mine in the doors...

Its quite simple, but i have no issues pulling stuff apart.

1. Remove ashtray

2. Remove surround around gear stick

3. Stick two screw drive between the dash and the top of the vents, pop them out. There are 4 clips holding it in, dont worry.

4. Pop of stereo surround

5. Undo the screws at the bottom and at the top

*from memory now*

6. pull out the whole unit, all three things are stuck together

7. undo the screws on the side

8. you will need to pull pretty damn hard to get the thing out, so best to flex the metal case in some way

9. it comes out.

10. do what you want. Reverse for install.

**there may be some things i forgot, but if it looks like it should come out, it probably should come out.**

Re #3, I found that it is easier if you remove the switch on the RHS of the vent. You can then poke your finger around the back of the vent and push it out easier without screwdriver marks.

:D cheers :(

My vent surround has most of the clips broken since i got it, so it comes out quite easily, makes getting the vents out a breeze.

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
