Was it installing the pods that took 3 hrs? Or installing the full speakers and wiring that took 3 hrs?
Pods should take just a couple minutes - 2 screws each, plus a plastic lock ring on the gas tank side.
Now, the wiring I can understand! I had to fish new wiring from the head unit thru the trans tunnel to under the drivers seat to the amplifier. Then speaker wire out back to the trans tunnel, up the center stack between the seats, around the seat belt tensioner spring and roll bars, then into the pods. That took me 3 hrs easily.
Thats why I installed an amp behind the drivers seat. Much easier to add speakers and wires.
