Default Need to fit a large speaker box

How do I pull off the left and right rear plastic trunk panels on my 2000? I'm going to put in a large sub box and I need to see if it can fit in without those in place. Then I can cut into them and scoot the box back in place against the notches.
Thanks

its one of those 12" Xplods I got from circuit city. It fits side to side perfectly I just need to to scoot it back a few inches but the side plastic panels get in the way cause they round out. Im going to buy some spares and notch them

using 2 12s. The box is 32" wide, its just hitting the corners of the plastic panels towards the rear. I could just build a box that fits, but Im sure this box is tuned to those speakers or at least I hope it is.

Did you already purchase this system or are you thinking about it? I bet you could do much better (sound quality and SPL wise) for the money. Please don't buy that stuff it's horribly over priced.

You should build a custom box that is taylored to the required specs for the subs. It will fit perfect and will sound a million times better.

I'm assuming that this is the box you are talking about?

If that's the one then it wont work for you. The box has a port on the left side of the box that needs to have space so air can move in and out.
