iv found if they use the ford tools and they get "stuck". the best way is to break the face off the unit and use a flat head to release the clips. (if u cant get it from behind the radio)

car audio is just a LOT more complicated than "this amp does this power" or "this sub will be this loud". its like 2 + 2 = banana. (if that confuses you then you get the point) lol

I know how it feels....I have and RSX. Pain in the ass to pop the headunit out. Awkward angle getting to the 8mm bolts.

Check out my build and the band Like We Always Do!

Once you start you can never stop. Bass addiction is serious. And there is no 12 step program for it.
Subs are like titties, They need to come in pairs because ones and threes are just wrong, and larger amounts will always draw a crowd, we all have our favorite sizes, but the bigger ones are more fun to watch move. :D

Gotta make sure you don't push the keys in to far.

Just till they click

the push the keys outward while pulling the deck out

It it's bad. Just pull the face off and release

Or go to a shop and offer 10.00 to an installer to get it out
