Are the helix subs plug and play? I have the standard stereo and am looking at some on eBay. Wondering if wiring harness will be there or if would need to get it professionally fitted

From what I've heard there's a good bit of trim removal to fit it but I've not done it myself.

I've looked into it and its not my idea of 'plug & play'...there's a pictorial guide here that will give you some idea https://imgur.com/a/ulwL6Z0 but its way past my limits.

There is a detailed thread somewhere on hear about Helix fitting.

The guy who did it seemed quite happy with the work, but I agree, its more than I'd want to attempt.
