Wouldn't you think that at this point, maybe just get a smaller box? If you need to chop the car up then you're doing it wrong. <img src="https://imger.co/images/2017/08/21/OPUEw.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="https://imger.co/images/2017/08/21/OPdY5.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Tight squeeze but with the help of a mallet I turned it 90 degrees<img src="https://imger.co/images/2017/08/21/OPnFW.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />after a lot of wiggling and flexing of the metal I got it out. You can see how massive the box is when standing next to the lower seat half,  see why it won't fit through the trunk opening?<img src="https://imger.co/images/2017/08/21/OPSGQ.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="https://imger.co/images/2017/08/21/OPxm1.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Empty trunk that smells like a public bathroom<img src="https://imger.co/images/2017/08/21/OP0Ku.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="https://imger.co/images/2017/08/21/OPD1i.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="https://imger.co/images/2017/08/21/OPgi0.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="https://imger.co/images/2017/08/21/OP12v.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />The box was SO heavy, at least 70 lbs empty. I figure it's all about 200lbs? Gotta say the car feels way different, even just driving around town. It takes less throttle to get it going, engine braking now slows it down, and turning just feels better. It's definitely very noticeable. I did a pull up to 120 and I can't say it felt quicker but it did get there in good pace. Now of course I gotta put the rear seat and trunk floor back in which is like 50-60lbs. Not keepin the spare though. Also since I pulled out the sub my radio no longer turns on. So I got more wiring to do. Hopefully I can rewire the speakers because only 1 speaker ever worked on the car. If I can have all the original speakers working again I think that would be worth it over having a subwoofer. Plus now I have useable trunk space.</blockquote>
