do the bushings, not the washers. Trust me. I managed to melt the bushings out of the crossmember like an idiot and had to drive washers style. If you keep the radio turned up its fine, but the wierd sounds you will be hearing otherwise will freak you out

when you see the difference between the soggy OEM subs and the ES subs you wont think 20 bucks is a waste
