Hey guys, im getting ready to install my train horn, and really need to know hot to get under the circled area.

I really do not want to take out the entire center console, but if i have to i guess i will. If I do need to remove the center console, could someone post a link to a guide? I really did spend some time searching for a guide to do this, but came up dry.

Thanks,
WIlliam

Unfortunately, the cover over the sub is the first piece on, so in order to get it off, you would be required to remove the rest of the console. :neutral:

Well, thats bad news, is there a guide anywhere that has some pictures of removing the console? Or a page of the service manual maybe.:-x

Drat! If that was an EX instead of an SC, all you need to do is grab the top of the console and pull up on one end, then slide off. The housing around the subwoofer is held on with those two buttons at the bottom which release by pushing the button's center -IN- to release and then pulling them out.

Word of caution: Underneath the center console bolted to the metal floor are some delicate electronics that you DON'T want to mess with - airbag trigger. Someone check me on this?

Look at the SC center console threads. It is pretty easy to remove. You just need to locate all the bolts and screws and remove them to get under there.

Heh, that's the problem. Through literally hours of searching I haven't found any posts about it. It probably has something to do with sc not being a search term. But if you could post a link to one I'd be eternally grateful!

sc not being a search term

It is. Using the advanced search function and specifying thread titles or posts might help.

Not for long if he sets the airbags off first time it honks - oughta look spectacular on video though.:lol:

 

[stove937]

wow, you think that could happen?:x

Serious? I dunno. There's some sort of big sensor under the center console fastened to the sheet metal that looks like an airbag trigger. Nobody else has mentioned it or said if they know if it is or isn't.

There's a video on youtube of someone who put a boat horn and an air tank in the back of a scion (I think). He opens the rear hatch and blows it at a docked ship. He stands outside while it's going off. Glass does not break. Airbags do not go off. He's not driving on a road and can't startle other drivers and cause accidents. But he looks really cool on youtube.
