well heres a update.... i was installing the radio... got the wrie stuff working (just no ipod adapter).. went on the the metra kit, that went well for a while, when i wen tto put it in the screws that the hold the side bracket on were blocking, so i trie to get aroudn it.. didn't work, anyway, i realized that it was too late and i had tto get to work so i start cleaing up the 100 or so metra peices scattered around, put everything in to a plastic bag and started to take it into the house. well, the bag tore, the radio fell, cracked, and is now in the trash. fun huh? can't wait til i get my tax return. i'm going to get a new radio then i guess.. that sucks cause now i can't hear my system this week :(

btw bill, box looks awesome. a few dents (from shipping?) but not bad enough for me to send it ack or anything. althoug those damn peanuts flew out of the ports while i was doing the radio, i ahd to take a break to pick them out of my neighbors yard.

That is very true. We used doubly 0 so I ran it under protected by conduit.

u can run it inside but i ran mine down the middle of the car. much easier to hide. running it underneath is fine as long as your protect it.

I would almost suggest running it underneath the car. That is how I did my show car a few years back. It is almost impossible to hide the wiring.

don't use a normal drill bit to put 1/0 through your firewall you will get injured. i can almost guarantee it.

yeah i haven't had a system since 05. been trying to get my system together then intall it, but money issues keep coming up. and the fact i've never built a box (but have a table saw and tools to do it) and i need some kickpanels 'glassed up (but don't know how to glass tho i've read some tutorials). supposed to get some local people to help me out since we have a car meet the 17th. i can't stand listening to my passenger coaxial buzzing all the time. driving me nuts. oh and i need a big ass drill bit to redrill my firewall out to fit 1/0 wire thru it. 4ga works but i'm gonna be running 2-3kw. also need my big 3 done and my engine bay is a tight fit. :argh :help:

i lost my soldering tip thing, and my weller's tip is broke, so i have no way to install my god damn radio because butt connectors aren't staying on for power and ground... so much for having the system in this week huh?

by Darthness » Sat Feb 24, 2007 9:09 am

yah, i should just cut the seat out. and then i could pay someone to weld it back in!!!!!!!!!!1111
