Just put my newly flashed ECU (stage 2 from Imagine Auto GREAT by the way, review coming soon), and I have everything back together, but I am having trouble with the sub box. I am wondering if anyone with subs has removed and put them back in. My problems is, that when I try to slide the subs back in, the box gets cought up on somthing and is not sliding all the way back. Somtime I can get one side in, but the other sticks out further!! . I have been trying for over 1/2 hour, I am hot sweaty, and ready to hit the sack, but I refuse to fail. Someone please help, I am dying!!
Thanks,
Evan

 

I don't exactly remember the process, but it should not be hard, it wasn't for me. When you put it back in pay attention to where the clips that the long bolts screw into. If I remember correctly they can move around, and that may be holding it up...sorry I can't be more help.

Look in the tech section. I believe Stephen had a write-up in their for the bose subs etc...

 

Thats the problem, the 2 holes for the screw ARE lined up, it is just getting cought up on somthing, and I just cannot figure out what. I am going to remove the bracket, and see how it slides in.
Thanks for the help,
Evan
BTW-I saw Stephens, it was helpful, but unfortunatly not for cars with bose

 

Evan - it is really easy!! Just make sure you put the sub box on those metal clips with about only 2 inches between rear of sub and rear of shelf it rsts on...then slide along carpet, put screws in and be careful putting the Bose cannon 'faces' back on...I broke some of the 'teeth' on mine

 

I wish it were that easy. I am doing exactly what you are saying, but when it is going back, it is getting cought up on a piece inside the little area were the metal brackets slide. I see the problem, but can't seem to get around it, I am working on that plastic piece to try and make more room. I took one of the metal "runners" off and it does go in, but the space is much smaller then it should be. O well I am gunna keep working on it, I can't even really lift my arms anymore I am so tired. I think I am going to leave it till tom. after school.
Thanks for the help,
Evan

 

Are you sure you installed the metal thing the right way round?? First time i took my ECU out I put the metal thing on backwards and the BOSE would not go back in!!

 

Yeah it is on right. They are sliding on, but getting cought on a piece inside as it is sliding back .
I am still working on it, thanks for your guys help.
Evan

 

Evan,
Spin those pieces around. They are in the wong way!!

 

They are Deff. on the RIGHT way, I only took 1 off to remove the ECU, and I put that one back on exactly how it was, and it is the exact same as the other side. I have it at the point, that I can get 1 side to slid ALL THE WAY ON at a time, but not both. Its gunna take some moving, I am trying, sux cause I am doing everything right, somthing just got messed up (the alignment of the brackets) and t won't allow for me to go to sleep . Well I can get either side in by it self, but not together. God nothing ever goes easy for me .
Thanks for the help guys,
Evan
PS-Wish I could show pics, but my comp is broken (using my dads)

 

Try pushing all the way back with the sub lifted up a little and then see if it will drop down into place, It'll probably take all of the arm strangth you have left.

GOT IT GUYS!!!! Like I thought, I was doing everything right, it just was not fitting right. I got pissed, and was literally in sweat and tears, and just shoved the god damn POS as hard as I possably could (after a strong hit to the bracket with a hammer )And the thing poped into place. I am so happy!!!! Thanks for everyones help, now if you don't mind I am gunna take a nice hot shower and hit the sack . BTW-Thanks Stephen the car runs awesome, it runs at .9PSI (without DV's and filter), but at one point I saw 1.1!!!!!!!!! I could only achive this once though. I love the car, and will post my thoughts on the stage 2 ASAP, but right now I am dead tired. Thanks again guys.
Good Night,
Evan

 

Evan.... I had the same problem too...

but I solved it. Iam re-sizing my pics as I write this message.

 

Nice guys!!!
Cant wait to get my ECU out and off to Stephen...

 

Good to hear...That was my next suggestion "Muscle Up!!"


I can't wait to get mine out either, if my dip**** dealer would fix my car and give it back already!!!
