What about removing parts of the stereo system. Those speakers and amplifier can be pretty heavy! Also make sure your wife knows she can't have pie after dinner any more.

If you remove the entire audio system, minus the speaker wires, you'll save 8.851lbs. Or at least you will if you have the same FR-S head unit I do.

-04.188lbs Head unit + 4 bolts
-01.563lbs Audio amp
-01.550lbs 2x dash speakers + mesh covers
-01.250lbs Both rear speakers + brackets
-00.300lbs USB port/storage bay
-08.851lbs

If your wife absolutely must have pie, recommend apple pie with extra apples. The apple slices themselves are lighter per volume than that sugary goo. And of course require she successfully complete a bowel movement before getting in your car. You do it. So can she.

Haha that's what I'm sayin!!!

I would remove the rear speakers but not the fronts. But for a pound, forget it.
